Functional Vision Rehabilitation in Costa Mesa, CA

Helping Costa Mesa Residents Improve Visual Performance & Comfort

At the Visual Processing Institute, we’re proud to offer specialized vision therapy services to the Costa Mesa community. Just a short drive from our Newport Beach office, we serve children, adults, and seniors who are experiencing a wide range of visual challenges—from learning-related issues to post-concussion recovery and binocular vision disorders.

If you or a family member are struggling with symptoms like eye strain, poor depth perception, or difficulty focusing, we’re here to help with personalized, evidence-based therapy programs.

What Is Vision Therapy?

Vision therapy is a series of structured, non-invasive exercises designed to enhance how the brain and eyes work together. Unlike basic eye care services, which may involve prescription lenses, vision therapy focuses on strengthening visual efficiency, coordination, and processing—core functions critical for learning, sports, and everyday life.

Our Costa Mesa area patients commonly seek therapy for:

• Eye teaming problems such as convergence insufficiency or strabismus

• Double vision or blurred vision

• Tracking or focusing difficulties

• Visual fatigue during reading or screen time

• Headaches, motion sensitivity, and balance issues

We work with a variety of patients—from children who struggle in school to adults recovering from neurological events.

Our team near Costa Mesa has deep expertise in treating:

• Amblyopia (lazy eye)

A Personalized Approach to Vision Rehab

We know no two patients are alike. That’s why we begin with a comprehensive vision evaluation to uncover the root of visual discomfort or inefficiency. Based on those results, we design a completely customized plan—often combining in-office and at-home activities to maximize results.

Neuro-Optometric Expertise

Our doctors specialize in neuro-optometry and functional vision care, making us a trusted referral source for optometrists, pediatricians, neurologists, and educators throughout Orange County.

Convenient Access from Costa Mesa

Our Newport Beach office is located just minutes from central Costa Mesa. Whether you’re coming from the Eastside, Mesa Verde, or SoBeCa district, we’re easily accessible for after-school and workday appointments.

Vision Therapy for Children in Costa Mesa

Many parents come to us after noticing their child struggles with:

• Reading fluency or comprehension

• Reversing letters or skipping lines while reading

We collaborate with local schools and educational specialists to help children overcome visual processing disorders that interfere with learning. Our therapy can dramatically boost a child’s reading performance, confidence, and school engagement.

Vision changes don’t only affect kids. Adults in Costa Mesa often reach out to us for:

• Persistent symptoms after a concussion or brain injury

Seniors may also experience subtle changes in depth perception, balance, or eye coordination—which can be improved through targeted therapy and neuro-visual retraining.
