Vision Therapy and Visual Processing

About visual processing institute

At Visual Processing Institute, we’re passionate about empowering you to see the world to your fullest potential. We believe that clear vision and efficient visual processing are fundamental building blocks for a fulfilling life.

Our team of experienced vision therapists utilize a range of in-office exercises and home-based activities to strengthen areas like eye teaming, focusing abilities, and visual-motor coordination.

Whether you’re a child struggling with reading, an adult experiencing digital eye strain, or an athlete striving for peak performance, we can help you unlock the full potential of your vision.

Vision Therapy and Visual Processing - It's Much MORE than 20/20

When we think of our “vision” we often think of the role of our eyes and stop there, however, the majority of the work providing you with your “vision” is actually done by the Visual Processing System involving multiple parts of your brain and not your eyes! The eyes are like 2 cameras that must work together perfectly to record a 3D movie, but there’s much more work going on behind the scenes.

Seeing 20/20 is only one of the 17 visual skills needed to function in our everyday environments. A problem with just one visual skill can lead to frustration and struggling at work or school.

The visual demands of the classroom, studying at home, and in performing our everyday tasks require flawless coordination between the two eyes. They must work together as a perfect team and always be aiming and focusing on the same thing. If improperly aimed or if a child or adult has a deficiency in bringing their eyes in together to read or out together to see a distant object, double vision will occur. Problems with the focusing system can lead to blur.

Even if a child or adult can see 20/20, they may still have a vision problem that can hold them back in school or work and greatly interfere with their daily activities.

Vision screenings ONLY check for the ability to see 20/20. There are many things they do not check and therefore miss such as

There are many things they do not check and therefore miss such as:

How well the eyes maintain focus at near (reading)
How well the eyes work and move together (following an object smoothly without seeing double, like reading a line across a page)
How well the eyes maintain alignment with each other (also needed for avoiding occasional double vision when reading)
How well the visual processing system in the brain is working.

As child advocates, we implore that parents give their children the benefit of the doubt and that adults finally take the step toward curing a life long struggle and schedule our Complete Vision Exam that tests beyond a normal eye exam.

Our equipment compares to normals, records baselines, and tracks progression.

How Visual Processing Works

what they say about our clinic

My son did a couple years of vision therapy with Dr. McCartin and her team. She is a highly knowledgeable and caring physician, and good with kids. She is always thorough in her evaluations and clear about what your options are (continue therapy, take a break, etc.) and what the consequences of those options would be.

A.D. Mother of Patient

Performance Vision Therapy has been a godsend for my family. Dr. Baker and her team have treated my three children. I saw dramatic changes in their reading comprehension, improved concentration and less fatigue. I am so impressed with my children's progress that I decided to become a patient of Dr. Bakers.

SH. Mother of 3 Patients

Dr. McCartin and her team are friendly, personable, and passionate about vision therapy and visual processing. Wonderful eye therapy sessions in a convenient West LA location.

Puri Maha Father of Patient

Can I give this more stars? Please? One of my children was referred to vision therapy by a doctor and in scouring the web to find someone, I stumbled upon Dr. McCartin and never looked back. After the initial consultation and test, I was blown away by the technology and approach to correcting issues.
