Default PCS and vision problems

Hi,

Just wanted to ask those who had vision problems with their PCS symptoms. In the first few months I received some vision training from my behavioral optometrist which according to tests helped quite a bit.

So at around the 6 month mark from injury I started work again and was relatively symptom free until my 5th week where I had a setback.

My condition is improving with great progress in the last week but I decided to get my eyes checked again. Apparently I am having significant struggles with dimensional convergence again. So he wants to do some more vision training but keep it going over a period of 9 months so it does not return.

Based on my vision issue and my symptoms he suspects most if not all of my symptoms could be attributed to my vision problem at the moment. Anyone have any experience with this through their PCS struggles?

From what I can tell it's physio for the eyes making them work with 3d images at different convergence levels until I am at the normal level. Not sure how stressing on the brain it may be. He did say as soon as I hit a threshold I have to stop immediately and rest. He gave me some exercises for my eyes to do at home.

Any experiences with this?
