Default Neuro Ophthalmologist vs. Neurologist Optha

Not to be confusing with the subject title, but I was wondering what the general preference/difference in care between the two are (i.e. a ophthalmologist who specializes in neuro OR a neurologist who specializes in the optha side). I'm assuming the neurologist side would be the better physician to see, however, I am having a hard time finding a neurologist who specializes in optha-related issues.

Will an ophthalmologist who specializes in neuro be fine to see? My major issue still right now is the vertigo/dizziness which is triggered automatically when watching TV/too much computer time, etc. Don't know if seeing one of them will just tell me to see the other side.

Any advice/insight/experience in dealing with these types of physicians?Additionally, my general physician recommended going to "occular therapy" (I've already been doing VT for 2 months) to help with re-training the brain/eyes for over stimulation, but there's no one around in my area. Anyone have experience with this type of rehab?
