An ophthalmologist exam often/usually misses the complex issues of convergence insufficiency and a myriad of other problems of the eyes working together properly. The brain needs to work extra hard stitching each eye's image into a single image when the eyes are not working together properly. A neuro-ophthalmologist may properly identify such dysfunctions but they are often harder to find and get assessed by than a behavioral optometrist.

It may be worth calling the ophthalmologists office and ask if they have a referral to a behavior optometrist.

Recovery is often a phased process. Get the visual assessed and treated if needed. Find any other treatable issue and move forward. The return to working out and social activities are the last issues to be concerned with.

It also helps to start a brain health nutrition program. The Vitamins sticky at the top has good information.

Did the MRI and CT Scans include contrast to look at blood flow (CT angio or MRI/MRA or other protocol)?

Often, there is a combination of issues that need to be addressed.
