No medical questions on this subreddit.

It could be a number of things. You should definitely seek another opinion if you are having these issues. You said your doctors doesn't believe you, but have you seen a different ophthalmologist yet?

I’ve tried to get a few others opinions as well that I’ve been referred to and that are highly recommended but none can get me in any earlier than October. One can get me in, in January 2020!

Yes I’ve seen about 5 now. All supposedly good ones within a three hour drive from me. The first one said there was something wrong but they didn’t know what so they sent me somewhere else. I’m getting a spinal tap to see pressure or something but they said that it’ll probably show nothing because I seem fine and they said most of these things were just normal.

For the doctors, what kinds have you seen?
There are a handful of things that cause both vision issues and hearing/balance issues. Something like Usher's type 3. There is also the possibility of in the brain causing a disruption. Either way, it is probably in your best interest to seek professional medical advice that can run tests to confirm and such. Unfortunately, we only have a limited amount of information regarding your medical situation, and it is unlikely we can get anything too accurate.

That’s what I assumed. I just wanted a little guidance if possible. I’ve been to both neurology places and eye doctors.

You may want to consider genetic testing to see as well. I'm not sure of the costs associated with that, unfortunately.
