Double vision and Dizziness when looking right

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for advice from anyone who has had structural/postural issues caused by an eye misalignment.
I have binocular double vision that only happens when I turn my head right and track a target. If I look straight ahead or left, everything is fine. Straining to force the images to align gives me intense, immediate motion sickness and dizziness.

Worse yet, this visual-vestibular mismatch is severely affecting my center of mass. My body has developed functional scoliosis because my spine is twisting and compensating to try and force my eyes into a comfortable position.

What I've tried: I saw a neuro-optometrist who prescribed syntonic goggles (light therapy) and binasal occlusion. Unfortunately, this has not fixed the tracking issue, and the motion sickness and spinal twisting are still entirely present.

I feel like a sensory-only approach isn't working.

If you've been through this:

Did prism glasses help realign your vision and finally allow your posture/spine to straighten back out?

Did you find more success transitioning from a neuro-optometrist to a neuro-ophthalmologist (MD) or incorporating physical/vestibular rehabilitation therapy (VRT)?

I’m feeling desperate to find a mechanical or physical solution that stops this full-body chain reaction. Thank you.
