Functional Vision Care & Therapy in San Pedro

San Pedro

Individualized Vision Rehabilitation & Functional Visual Training for San Pedro Residents


If you're located in San Pedro and struggling with vision challenges that go beyond glasses—like headaches, trouble reading, or post-concussion symptoms—the Visual Processing Institute is here to help. From our nearby clinic in Torrance, we offer custom vision therapy programs designed to improve how your visual system operates—not just how clearly you see.


Our services are ideal for children experiencing academic difficulties, adults recovering from neurological conditions, and anyone dealing with visual discomfort or dysfunction.


What Is Vision Therapy?


Vision therapy is a clinical program that focuses on enhancing the efficiency of eye coordination, focus, tracking, and visual processing. It's not about correcting your eyesight with lenses—it's about addressing how your eyes and brain work together to handle real-world tasks.


San Pedro patients come to us with concerns like:

  • Straining to read for long periods

  • Blurred or double vision during close work

  • Balance problems or dizziness after head injuries

  • Trouble concentrating in school or at work

  • Vision-related challenges following a concussion or car accident

Our therapy programs use proven strategies to rebuild and reinforce healthy visual function—helping patients gain control, confidence, and comfort.


Conditions We Address at Our Torrance Location


From our conveniently located office near San Pedro, we treat:

  • Amblyopia (lazy eye)

  • Strabismus (eye misalignment)

  • Convergence insufficiency

  • Binocular Vision Dysfunction (BVD)

  • Post-concussion vision syndrome

  • Visual tracking and processing delays

  • Vision-related learning difficulties


Using a comprehensive functional vision evaluation, we go far beyond a traditional eye test to understand how your visual system performs under real-world conditions like reading, screen time, and movement.

Why San Pedro Families Turn to the Visual Processing Institute


Experts in Neurological & Developmental Vision Care


We specialize in neuro-optometry, a field dedicated to treating vision problems that stem from brain function. Whether caused by trauma, delayed development, or sensory overload, we design therapy plans that restore healthy vision through personalized care and hands-on support.


Care That’s Personalized to You


We don’t use one-size-fits-all protocols. Every therapy plan is customized based on your specific visual needs, goals, and lifestyle. Whether you're a parent trying to help a child succeed in school or an adult returning to work after an injury, our therapy is built for your journey.


Easy Access from San Pedro


Our Torrance clinic is only a short drive away via Pacific Coast Highway or Western Avenue, offering convenient access for San Pedro families. We serve local patients across Point Fermin, Vista del Oro, and South Shores with flexible scheduling and a welcoming environment.


Pediatric Vision Therapy for San Pedro Children


Children often experience functional vision problems that affect learning and focus—but these aren’t always detected during a basic eye screening. If your child is bright and capable but still struggling in school, vision therapy might be the missing piece.


Signs your child may benefit:

  • Reading below grade level or skipping lines

  • Mixing up letters or struggling with spelling

  • Complaining of tired eyes or headaches after school

  • Becoming frustrated or avoiding homework

  • Being misdiagnosed with attention or learning disorders

Our child-centered therapy approach helps kids strengthen their visual tracking, processing, and coordination skills, which leads to improved performance in both academic and everyday tasks.


Adult Vision Therapy & Rehabilitation in San Pedro


Adults from San Pedro visit us to address challenges such as:

  • Lingering visual symptoms following a concussion

  • Discomfort during prolonged screen use

  • Eye fatigue, headaches, or light sensitivity

  • Visual disorientation when driving or reading

  • Reduced visual stamina during work or physical activity

We also provide performance-based vision training for individuals who want to improve visual skills for sports, job performance, or cognitive function—especially relevant for professionals and athletes.


Life in San Pedro Deserves Better Visual Function


San Pedro blends a rich maritime culture with an active, community-driven lifestyle. Whether you're a student at Port of L.A. High, a longshoreman on the waterfront, or a retiree enjoying coastal walks, clear and comfortable vision plays a vital role in how you navigate daily life.


At the Visual Processing Institute, we’re proud to serve this unique community with therapy that helps people reconnect with their environment—visually, cognitively, and emotionally.
