Advanced Vision Therapy Services in Palos Verdes Estates

Functional Vision Therapy & Neuro-Optometric Services for the Palos Verdes Estates Community

If you or your child in Palos Verdes Estates are experiencing symptoms like eye strain, difficulty focusing, or visual issues following a concussion, the Visual Processing Institute offers highly specialized vision therapy services just minutes away in Torrance. We help patients of all ages improve how their eyes and brain work together—supporting clearer vision, sharper focus, and better performance in school, work, and everyday life.

From young students to active adults and seniors, our personalized programs are designed to correct functional vision problems that traditional eye care often overlooks.

What Is Vision Therapy?

Vision therapy is a customized, doctor-supervised program aimed at improving visual efficiency, eye coordination, and processing speed. Rather than treating how clearly you see, vision therapy focuses on how well your eyes perform tasks like tracking, teaming, and sustaining focus—essential for reading, balance, and cognitive function.

Many patients from Palos Verdes Estates seek our services for:

• Visual fatigue during reading or screen time

• Frequent headaches or blurred vision

• Coordination issues or difficulty with spatial judgment

• Delayed recovery from brain injuries or concussions

• Academic struggles despite normal eyesight
  

Our goal is to treat the root causes of visual discomfort and inefficiency with tailored interventions that produce long-term improvements.

What We Treat at the Visual Processing Institute

Located conveniently near Palos Verdes Estates, our Torrance clinic evaluates and treats:

• Amblyopia (lazy eye)

• Strabismus (eye misalignment)

• Convergence insufficiency

• Visual tracking and focusing deficits

• Post-traumatic vision syndrome

• Visual processing disorders related to learning challenges

• Binocular Vision Dysfunction (BVD)
  

Every therapy plan starts with a comprehensive visual performance evaluation that measures how your eyes and brain function together in real-world conditions—not just what you can read on an eye chart.
