I would suggest going to see a neuro-otologist and someone with vestibular certification in vision therapy. Your symptoms (nystagmus, tracking issues, dizziness) all sound like classic vision-vestibular dysfunction they might be able to help. :)

Yay! PM me if you need more details on the specialties, not sure if you're in the US or not.

You are correct about VT training the muscles first and then the neural circuitry. COVD.org can help you find a place with people trained in vision therapy, they are the association that regulates the optometrists trained in that. I would be interested to hear what your surgeon has to say if you bring it up - most surgeons are not supporters of vision therapy.

Why haven't you done vision therapy if that could help you gain stereo?

Edit: Just saw your comment below, would stroooongly encourage it to anyone who has this issue, the brain is very plastic and these people* are specialists in retraining it to see in 3-D. Just try it!

*Optometrists trained to do vision therapy - behavioral or developmental optometrists specifically, it's like a specialty within optometry. See COVD.org for more info. They can also help with poor peripheral vision, eye-hand coordination, visual imagery/memory, etc. PM me with questions, I'm not paid to talk about this but I'm good friends with someone who does this professionally and have a couple of friends who did did it for similar reasons.
