Default covering one eye when reading

I had a weird setback, hard to pin down to an event. Although the day before the setback I tried to converge my eyes to the extreme without the guidance of a hand (woke with with a headache, and so far symptoms lasted 2 weeks). MY VT told me to always use a finger when converging.

I saw my vision therapist (VT) and he said my convergence (insufficiency) has never been that bad. Things i was able to converge quickly too 6 months ago, are now seen only double. He said my eyes need rest and not to restart therapy until I am a bit better.

I rested my eyes for 2 weeks. In fact closing eyes for 2 hours each day, sitting next to a creek for 2 hours, rooftop 2 hours, screen time<2h.

I still feel eye strain. Do you think it is OK to work covering one eye at a time. Something like this:
Amazon.com : Flents Eye Patch - 3 Pack : Eye Drops : Beauty


and switch between left and right. Anyone tried? Would that reduce eyestrain (since eyes do not have to work in tandem?)

I'm no expert in this field, but I've heard it's harder for the brain to use one eye at a time than two.

I also am doing vision therapy. I just started a few weeks ago. Some of my symptoms are better, some are worse. It's no overnight fix like I thought it would be. I got lots of hard work to do.
