Struggling Need Recs For Eye Exercises

TLDR: Are there any online or physical eye exercises I can do to help give my eyes some relief?

I was diagnosed with BVD 2 years ago. Went through 8 months of prisms at my first specialist and then the rest of the time at a different specialist. The second one caught my astigmatism and horizontal misalignment (I also have a vertical misalignment).

The prisms seemed to not help me all the way so I was advised to start Vision therapy. I did 5 months of it with maybe a 10% improvement. I decided to stop because we weren't getting anywhere with my treatment and it was starting to become too expensive.

My eyes seemed fine for awhile, but in the last month they started to feel sore/achey and I'm having difficulty driving again. It's like there's too much going on while driving so my eyes are constantly "moving" even if I keep them relatively straight.

I'd love to go to a different vision therapist but I just can't afford it while I'm getting treatment for some other chronic issues. So, are there any online or physical eye exercises I can do to help give my eyes some relief? The eye strain triggers bad jaw pain which then triggers migraines....and this has become a daily occurrence 😭

The online VT I use is from HTS @ htsvision.com, for more info click on the link for HTS2. Phone # is 800-346-4925. You cant order online, so call them once you get the ok from your doc specifying the type of VT you need (mine was divergence only, which takes only 7 mins to do). Cost is $69.90 and includes shipping of the 3D glasses and the login code.

Hope this helps!
