We just had an eye doctor come to my son' s school to do a vision screening. In addition to the typical eye exam, the doctor specialized in treatment plans called 'Vision Therapy'. In addition to typical optometry stuff, she had an entire facility dedicated to vision therapy. Patients would visit the therapy office once a week and then do 'homework' at home.
Here's a description:

Depending on what the eye doctor/surgeon says, (if it were me) I would want to check with someone who had a vision therapy specialty to see if it could be helpful before I went down the surgery route. Maybe you could find one in your area.
Sending you lots of positive thoughts!
