A New Era of Vision Therapy
While many healthcare providers are raising prices, The Visual Processing Institute is doing the opposite — lowering costs while raising the standard of care. Our mission is simple: make advanced vision therapy accessible to more families across California without compromising on quality, compassion, or innovation.
We’re proud to offer the lowest-priced vision therapy sessions in California at 4 Locations in Newport Beach, Torrance (South Bay), West LA, and San Juan Capistrano.

What Is Vision Therapy?
Vision therapy is a personalized, non-surgical program that helps improve how the eyes and brain work together. It’s often compared to “physical therapy for the eyes” and is used to treat conditions such as:
Binocular Vision Dysfunction (BVD)
Convergence Insufficiency (difficulty focusing both eyes on near tasks)
Amblyopia (lazy eye)
Esotropia and other eye turn conditions
Eye tracking and focusing difficulties
Visual processing and comprehension issues that can affect learning and reading
These conditions can lead to symptoms like double vision, headaches, eye strain, dizziness, poor reading comprehension, or even motion sickness. Many patients — especially children — don’t realize that their struggles stem from the way their eyes and brain communicate.
How AI Is Transforming Vision Therapy

At The Visual Processing Institute, we believe that technology should empower human care — not replace it. That’s why we’ve integrated AI and automated systems into our practice to create systems that help our therapists’ and staff work more efficient.
Here’s how AI is changing the way we deliver care:
Enhanced Operations: Reducing redundant tasks that our staff has had to perform has allowed them to focus on higher order challenges.
More time for patients: By reducing administrative tasks, therapists can focus on what really matters — guiding each patient through meaningful visual growth.
The result? More jobs for clinicians, more therapy time for patients, and better outcomes overall.
Affordable, High-Tech Vision Therapy for Every Family

We understand that vision therapy can be a major investment, especially when multiple family members need care. That’s why we’ve worked hard to reduce session costs without reducing quality.
By streamlining our systems and using innovative digital platforms, we’ve created one of the most advanced — yet affordable — therapy models in California. Families in Orange County and Los Angeles can now access the same level of care once reserved for elite vision centers and professional athletes, at a fraction of the traditional price.
Whether your child struggles with reading due to convergence insufficiency, your teen needs lazy eye treatment, or you’re an adult dealing with binocular vision dysfunction that affects your balance and daily comfort — we’re here to help.
Why Parents Love Vision Therapy After School
Our clinics understand that families lead busy lives. That’s why we offer “vision therapy after school” options to fit your schedule. Kids can attend fun, engaging therapy sessions that use interactive games, digital feedback tools, and hands-on exercises to strengthen visual skills.
Each program is tailored to your child’s unique needs, focusing on improving:
Eye coordination and depth perception
Reading fluency and comprehension
Visual memory and attention
Academic confidence
Many families report not only improved vision but also better focus, fewer headaches, and higher classroom performance after completing their vision therapy programs.
Real Results: Stories of Transformation
At The Visual Processing Institute, we’ve seen patients transform their visual abilities and quality of life.
Children who once struggled to read are now excelling in school. Adults who experienced dizziness or blurred vision due to binocular vision dysfunction are driving, reading, and working comfortably again.
Our team of highly trained vision therapists and doctors takes pride in celebrating every milestone — from the first time a child fuses an image in 3D to the day a patient no longer experiences double vision.
Every success story reinforces our belief: when you combine clinical expertise, advanced technology, and genuine care, patients thrive.
