Dave,
I am not a MD, but in grad school, I administered hundreds of
Telebinocular Vision Tests. There were four muscle balance tests on the
Telebinocular(near point and far point). I noticed that muscle balance was
quite unreliable and very susceptiple to fatigue. Since then, it's bothered
me that people are advised of surgery due to the results of one test on one
day.
Go to an optometrist and see what they say.
Just my two cents.
