Therapies
When I started vision therapy, I stopped vestibular therapy, at my vestibular therapist's recommendation. She thought it would be too much for me, as there is some overlap. I would talk to her therapist about it.
Seeing a neuro-op would be a good idea. I'm not sure how you can start vision therapy without seeing one first. Mine ran a whole battery of tests, but it would take too long to go to detail, as my eyes are easily strained. It took about two hours. It did wear me out for the rest of the day, so just keep that in mind!
In my opinion, it's probably the vision therapy that is the culprit, but it could be the vestibular therapy. Has your daughter been evaluated for a possible neck injury in addition to her concussion? That can also cause nausea too.
Good luck!

I have recovered my cognitive function, and I've overcome severe vertigo through sensory integration therapy. Wellbutrin has helped me escape depression. I have recently had a few stress-related migraines, as well as headaches stemming from eye strain. I'm also dealing with tinnitus, lack of stamina, extreme light sensitivity, and eye pain. Diagnosed with 9 different vision issues: convergence insufficiency, pursuit eye movement deficit, egocentric visual midline shift, photophobia, visual information processing delays, accommodative insufficiency, saccadic eye movement deficit, lack of coordination, and central peripheral visual integration deficit.
*First concussion: October 2010. I was pregnant and got rear ended. I associated my mild PCS symptoms with baby brain and blamed my light sensitivity on allergies and dry eyes.
*Second concussion: December 2011. I hit my head on a wooden beam, saw stars but did not lose consciousness, and I had very disturbing PCS symptoms but didn't go to the doctor.
*Third concussion: August 2012. I caused a car accident as a result of PCS symptoms. Thankfully no one was injured but me. My husband confronted me, and I finally sought help and took medical leave from work. My symptoms worsened, and I developed severe vertigo.
*Fourth concussion: November 2012. I was riding in a car with a friend and we were hit head on by a driver who lost control of her car. I didn't have a big increase in PCS symptoms.
