Brief Answer: hi, abnormal VOR, ocular exercises. Detailed Answer: Hi , Thanks for your query. In my opinion , your vestibular neuronitis would have resolved by now. But do continue with physical therapy. Your jumpy vision might your visual perception for dizziness. In my opinion you might have problem in vestibulo ocular reflex. 20/20 is refraction of eye. That will be normal In such cases. If I were your treating doctor I would get VNG done to rule out the cause and treat according to the report. I would suggest you to do more eyes exercises which is part of your physical therapy. Hope I have answered your query. Thanks.

Ok thank you. I guess that's why driving can be ok but when I'm done driving I have a motion feeling for a little bit.
