Could anyone suggest me some eye exercises?

Here's my problem: about 2 years ago someone kicked me directly in the
left eye while swimming. I had scratched cornea and a huge black eye.
When my black eye and cornea healed and I removed my eye patch, I had
trouble seeing at first. The left eye muscles were sore and my left
eye saw "below" my right eye, so I saw a double image (one on top of
the other) when looking with my both eyes. After a couple of days it
went back to normal but it was tough. I had to "pull" my left eye up
in order to see a single image. Obviously this caused strain on my
muscles. Now, two years later, I still feel I have to strain my left
eye muscles to see. I am 20/20 and require no glasses; the only
possible explanation for my eye strain would me a muscular imbalance.
I noticed something strange though: If I look behind any kind of glass
my strain seems to diminish (I am talking about sunglasses or
protective glasses, not prescription glasses). Anyway, if it is a
muscular problem I'd like to start doing some exercices to improve my
condition. I'd like someone to tell me what kind of exercices I should
do. Thanks.

P.S.: I don't believe in the Bates method, please don't bother telling
me about it.

 

Sounds like possibly some glasses wih prism correction could help
if there's moderate phoria (eye mis-alignment, either horizontal or
vertical) going on. Even if you are emmetropic (ie not having any
refractive error) the glasses with prism can help with a mis-alignment.
Or possibly some v.t. with prism bars- it just
depends on what the exact problem is. But trying to recommend
something in the way of v.t. w.o. knowing your diagnosis is not
possible. Best advice is to see someone with v.t. experience.

Better to believe in blindness, dear friend.

sitting in darkness have seen its great light."

There was no fracture. My guess is that even after 2 years my muscles
are not completely as functionnal as before because I never did any
eye exercises to help my healing. Also, I am left with some irregular
astigmatism (lines around lights and flashy colors) that may tense up
my accomodative muscles. Either way, I already told my symptoms to my
ophtalmologist last year and he said he couldn't do anything (he said
something about my iris possibly being bigger than before hence
introducing irregular astigmatism).
