Default Padula institute

Just wondering whether any of you with balance and vision issues have tried or heard of this institute?
I paid him a visit (expensive!) and he pretty much told me to quite standard vision therapy and go his approach, which is to wear glasses with special prisms (and I am not talking about convergence prisms). He said that my peripheral vision was the problem. It seems he has his own non-standard approach. I can't afford to try various things that could perhaps set me back, so just getting a sense whether he has a good reputation/success in the field.
.
As a background I have major convergence problems, so that is what I have been exercising. I get dizzy and nauseous easily when looking at close objects and screen. I also have major problems scrolling (whether close or far) which sets me off immediately. I have been using the traditional approach so far, trying to improve my convergence, which is going slowly but surely. I can't seem to solve the scrolling problem though. If I manage to solve this, I might stand a chance to go back to work. I work on a screen that is about 6 feet awat from me. so little to no convergence there.

Thanks

Not sure why those prisms would do better than prisms designs for convergence.
I wore mine for 4 years and finally got my PC better but yet my symptoms didn’t change at all and I still struggle reading/computer without them.

I’m doing this 12 day vision therapy where the chair moves back and forth, while wearing headphones and staring at different color light in pitch black room. It’s pure hell. Not sure I believe the theory that I need to amp my system up to reset it. Prob another waste of 3k.

I imagine wearing prisms would aggravate your symptoms.
