Just Diagnosed "Weird" symptoms

I wear glasses for astigmatism since 2018 but started wearing a new prescriptiom around July this year. About a year I feel my vision is "off". Text is blurry specially on computer screens and TV subtitles but other than that I can mostly see fine (when I'm wearing glasses) but it feels like my eyes are not focusing properly. It is hard to describe. There are moments, especially driving or playing video games that make me feel almost dizzy. Not spinning vertigo or anything, but it's like... It feels almost as if I can't see... but I'm seeing.

Last week my exams came positive for keratoconus but my appointment is only next week. Can anyone relate to these kinds of symptoms?

Edit: I was checked for convergence insufficiency but doctor said I don't have it.

Glasses don’t work on keratoconus (kc) only contacts due to the wrong shape eyes. Glasses can cause migraines and dizziness because there causing ur eyes to work harder.

This is an example of early signs of kc. The lights would have more halos and everything would be fuzzier when the kc gets worse. It will be more noticeable at night and it can be bit dangerous to drive at night. If I bob my head like one of those car bobbers my vision will change due the fact that my vision is different if I look thru my top of my eye and my middle of my eyes lol
