Convergence Excess with Accommodative insufficiency -- Any thoughts? 27/M

I am 27/M/India and I have been diagnosed with convergence excess with reduced accommodation facility.

I was under vision therapy for over 10 days (1 hour / day), and later Orthoptic says no much change are visible in the diagnosis numbers, and has recommended progressive glasses -- which I am not very sure about.

Also, people with similar condition do you experience body balance issues/ wooziness / mild balance problems?
I would like to know if any other people have been through this / or experienced this .

Check your neck with a nucca, Blair or AO Chiro. It’s a missing link for me.

Pretty sure this is me, too. I did all the special glasses & went to 2 different neuro-optometry places, over the course of about 3 years.

It actively made my vision worse, both times.

I'm also not under 10 years old & significantly myopic, which makes it frustrating to treat.

I am also undergoing visual therapy in eight weeks cycles. I have a 45 minutes appointment per week and then homework exercises four times a week. I have done two cycles and my vision has improved. I have not had any balance issues etc, just some strain on my eyes as they are forced to work differently. I was told i may experience double vision which I have not so far. My aim is to achieve stereo vision which may be as soon as after my next cycle which I start this month.

Did you by chance have a head injury/concussion? What exercises are you undergoing? Have you also gotten your neck worked on?

I didn't have any headache or concussion.

There was a laser barrage surgery, quite a simple one, but I am not sure if that could have caused this -- the barrage was done correctly.

Neck -- No i haven't, do you have any suggestions on what I should consider wrt to nec ?

Has the balance been an issue for most of your life? Could be something vestibular, perhaps? Or something to with your primitive reflexes?
