Did you see a regular optometrist or a behavioral optometrist? You can look for the latter at *edit*

I have recently started vision therapy, and it is definitely helping with being able to do close vision work like reading and computer work. I still have trouble with driving, riding in a car with eyes open, and some TV watching (if the editing is very quick and/or jumpy), but I am hopeful that these will also improve as I continue the therapy.

I believe the testing I had was called Vision Efficiency Evaluation. It is often done for kids who have trouble reading and/or get headaches. It showed that I had trouble with binocular vision (how the brain combines the images from each eye into one) at both close range (convergence) and switching between close and distance (accommodation).

Basically, although I did not perceive that I was seeing double, I was having to over-exert my eyes to prevent myself from seeing double, which has probably at least been contributing to if not causing headaches. It was very easy for the doctor to make me see double. Frankly, I cannot understand why this and visual field testing are not standard post-concussion assessments.

Hope this helps!
