She tried me with prisms but that distorted the whole world like being a hall of mirrors and couldn't deal with the false horizon it game me.
My glasses help deal with the convergence problems and have made a huge difference to me. I don't feel so unsteady.
I also have a referral to ENT (Ear, nose and Throat) clinic to check for labyrinthitis which may be contributing to some of the balance problems.
Interesting about the macushield - I had never heard of it before. Do you think it works ?

I assume that you had a TBI of some sort seeing as you've read this here?
Were your convergence/spatial awareness issues caused by the TBI?
Are your balance issues severe? Mine are largely unnoticeable until I start looking at something on my phone whilst standing still. Sitting down = no issue.
Are your glasses for reading, or for everything? Mine will be just for reading.
I would be very interested to hear what your prescription is if you are using your glasses for everything and they are helping with balance, plus not using prisms.
As for the macushield, I've no idea if it's working as I've only been taking it 2 days, could be a month before I can comment.
