Default Vision problems?

So it's been three months after my injury.

I am undergoing vestibular therapy to treat my balance and vision. I am also treating my neck, and according to the physio, my neck is a lot better not compared to post injury's. My tremors come and go. They don't bother me as much.

My sleep is alright now. I do wake up in the middle of the nights but I can get back to sleep quite easily. I don't have stressful dreams. My headaches are also much better: only mild and unnoticeable nowadays. My cognitive ability also gets better: I can think and work properly. My memory is still a bit rubbish sometimes; but that I can handle.

I feel like the only problem left for me is my eyes. It appears to me that this is the most consistent symptom so far, which appeared after I hit my head and is going on 24/7. I have realised most of my 'off-feeling' and mental fatigue come from my vision.

I don't get bad headaches looking at the computer. But I do find it a bit difficult to follow words and texts on screens and paper. I also realised that i have visual snow/ noise/ floaters, which makes my vision really bad when the weather is overcast or at night/ low light condition. My vision also got worse after I tried biking again or when i was over-stimulated or when i was tired. On one or two occasions, it hurts when i move my left eye around. I also realise that when I look into busy patterns of even complex concrete ground, everything seems a bit 'off' and blurry and wavy.

I am not entirely sure if the vestibular therapy will help to resolve those vision problems. Should I just keep resting and wait it out for those particular visual problems or should i see a specialist?
