Obviously this is a very complex case and beyond our scope here on this forum if he has already seen 11 pediatric ophthalmology specialists. I suggest you instead take him to a neuro-ophthalmologist and present the question you asked me about possible psychogenic causes or even some type of learning disorder. Why don't you look on www.aao.org to find a neuro-ophthalmologist specialist in your area.
