Vision Therapy & Learning Support in Mission Viejo

Custom Vision Therapy & Functional Vision Care for Mission Viejo Families

Are you or your child struggling with visual challenges that interfere with reading, learning, focus, or recovery after a head injury? At the Visual Processing Institute, we help Mission Viejo residents address these problems with science-backed, personalized vision therapy programs that go beyond glasses or contact lenses.

Located just minutes away in San Juan Capistrano, our clinic offers convenient access to specialized services for families, students, athletes, and adults experiencing functional visual difficulties.

What Is Vision Therapy?

Vision therapy is a structured program designed to improve visual efficiency, processing, and coordination. Unlike traditional vision correction, which focuses on clarity (20/20 eyesight), vision therapy strengthens how your eyes and brain work together—especially for tasks like reading, movement, and concentration.

Mission Viejo patients often benefit from vision therapy for:

• Reading problems, skipped lines, or poor tracking

• Eye fatigue or blurred vision after screen use

• Motion sensitivity, dizziness, or light intolerance

• Difficulty focusing during sports or classroom activities

• Long-term symptoms following concussion or TBI

Using evidence-based therapy methods, we help patients optimize how they see and process the world around them—with results that often impact school, work, and personal life in meaningful ways.

Conditions We Treat Near Mission Viejo

At our San Juan Capistrano office, just a short drive south of Mission Viejo, we help individuals with:

• Strabismus (crossed or wandering eyes)

• Convergence insufficiency

• Binocular Vision Dysfunction (BVD)

Each therapy plan begins with a comprehensive functional vision evaluation, giving us insight into how your eyes and brain are functioning together—and where improvements can be made.

Pediatric Vision Therapy for Mission Viejo Students

It’s not uncommon for students to struggle in school because of vision problems—even if they see clearly on an eye chart. Visual skills like tracking, focusing, and eye teaming are critical for reading, writing, and attention.

We work with Mission Viejo parents whose children experience:

• Reading difficulties or poor comprehension

• Frequent headaches or avoidance of close work

• Poor handwriting, coordination, or copying from the board

• Diagnoses like ADHD, dyslexia, or learning delays

Our programs are designed to help students build strong visual foundations that improve both performance and confidence in the classroom.

Adult Vision Therapy and Rehabilitation

Vision problems don’t just affect children. Adults come to us for issues such as:

• Visual strain during long hours on computers

• Double vision or eye tracking problems

• Post-injury symptoms like dizziness or light sensitivity

• Declining visual endurance impacting work or driving

• Reduced depth perception or peripheral awareness

We also work with athletes and active adults who want to sharpen visual precision, reaction time, and coordination for better performance in sports or fitness routines.
