Someone who can prescribe prism or tinted glasses. Going to regular neuro was a complete waste of time I found.

If it's a vision issue, it doesn't matter how much you rest or what supplements you take. You brain will constantly be overloaded and reading or being on the computer will make you feel symptomatic right away. Best of luck.
Thanks for your insight. I saw an eye doctor a month ago because I thought my vision had gone bad, but he said it had stayed exactly the same since a year before. I didn't tell him about the PCS though. I still feel that it's blurry even with glasses and contacts. Is this a bad sign?

My vision was perfect too. That is not the issue. It is how your eye muscles move and team together. Blurry/double vision is a symptom of convergent insufficiency. I actually take it as a good sign, because of vision is the issue, there is treatment for it. Spend the $ to get a visual assessment from good neuro opthamologist and see what they say.
