Default Doc made a discovery: will it help?

I Saw a new near a week ago, this was my 3rd. The difference between the two earlier is that he specialize in concussion, or it is an area of focus of his.

His assistant re-did all the boring concussion tests on me, walking straight, following movement with me eyes,....

to remind you: I am almost 10 months past my concussion and I am still not able to run without get lightheaded again. And my headaches have been bad until very recently...

Anyway, so the doc said: he can see the problem at the eyes level. Specifically, my eyes are not linearly tracking movement, but rather jumping around.

I was a bit shocked, I thought this was permanent. He said no, but strongly advised me to go an see a specialist who will diagnose my eyesight issue. He said there are therapies that should help heal faster, as I should not be still dealing with that.

His theory is that my brain is making to much effort "seeing", gets tired, gives me headache and lightheadedness. Why does it happen when I run? I asked. He said, it is very strenuous on the eyes. Well guess what, this happen also after I hit my head against the wall at night by mistake (tiny knocks same effect on headaches and dizziness)...

I am very skeptic but going to do the test. But then again, if he is not right, why the hell am I still dealing with that after what was supposed to be a short recovery!!
