Conveniently located in nearby San Juan Capistrano, our clinic specializes in personalized treatment programs that go beyond basic eye exams—focusing on how your brain and eyes work together for clear, efficient, and comfortable vision.

Whether you're managing persistent symptoms after a concussion, struggling with visual fatigue, or have a child falling behind in school due to reading difficulties, our team is here to help you regain clarity, focus, and confidence.

What Is Vision Therapy?

Vision therapy is a structured, doctor-supervised treatment plan that aims to improve functional vision skills like tracking, focusing, depth perception, and visual processing. These skills are essential for reading, learning, playing sports, and navigating everyday life.

Aliso Viejo patients often benefit from vision therapy when dealing with:

• Frequent headaches or tired eyes

• Poor reading fluency or comprehension

• Difficulty concentrating on tasks that involve close vision

• Trouble with coordination or balance

• Lingering visual symptoms following a brain injury or concussion

Unlike standard corrective lenses, vision therapy addresses how your eyes and brain cooperate—solving the underlying problems that interfere with day-to-day success.

Who We Help at the Visual Processing Institute

From our South Orange County clinic, just minutes from Aliso Viejo, we provide comprehensive care for individuals facing a range of conditions:

• Amblyopia (lazy eye)

• Strabismus (crossed or wandering eyes)

• Convergence insufficiency

• Visual processing deficits

• Post-concussion visual symptoms

• Binocular Vision Dysfunction (BVD)

• Tracking and focusing inefficiencies

All therapy begins with a detailed evaluation that goes far beyond a typical vision screening, allowing us to uncover hidden visual weaknesses and create a targeted plan for improvement.

Why Aliso Viejo Residents Trust the Visual Processing Institute

Specialists in Neuro-Optometric Vision Care

Our clinicians are trained in functional and neuro-optometry, which means we focus on how visual problems affect learning, memory, attention, coordination, and recovery. We regularly partner with local neurologists, educators, occupational therapists, and pediatricians to provide integrated care.

Customized Plans with Measurable Outcomes

We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all care. Our therapy programs are completely personalized and designed to meet your specific goals—whether it’s improving reading speed, recovering from injury, or performing better at work or school.

Convenient Location for Aliso Viejo Families

Our office in San Juan Capistrano is just a quick drive down the 73 or 5 Freeway, offering easy access from neighborhoods throughout Aliso Viejo, including Glenwood, Westridge, and Canyon Vista. We offer flexible scheduling, including after-school and weekend availability.

Vision Therapy for Children in Aliso Viejo

Many children who struggle with reading or school performance are actually facing undiagnosed visual processing issues. These are not typically detected during school vision screenings or routine eye exams.

Signs your child may benefit from vision therapy include:

• Losing their place or skipping lines while reading

• Reversing letters or words

• Fatigue or frustration with homework

• Poor attention during visual tasks

• Diagnoses like ADHD, dyslexia, or a learning disability

Our programs help children develop the foundational visual skills they need to succeed academically, socially, and emotionally.

Vision Therapy for Adults and Teens

Adults and older students in Aliso Viejo also seek our services for:

• Post-trauma visual challenges (from car accidents, sports injuries, etc.)

• Persistent dizziness or motion sensitivity

• Eye strain and visual overload from computer work

• Problems with depth perception or spatial judgment

• Performance optimization for athletes or professionals

Whether you’re recovering from a neurological event or simply trying to be more effective at your job or in competition, we can help retrain and strengthen your visual system for lasting improvement.
