20 Years of Vision Therapy Excellence

As 2024 begins, Dr. Rick Graebe celebrates two decades of transforming lives through Vision Therapy. His Neuro-Visual Performance Institute now welcomes patients from 287 zip codes, reflecting a steadfast commitment to improving visual performance for people of all ages.

Vision Therapy Overview

Vision Therapy is a specialized rehabilitation program that strengthens the connection between the eyes, brain, and body. It goes beyond standard eye exams to address complex visual challenges.

What Is Vision Therapy?

Vision Therapy uses targeted exercises to improve visual function. These exercises train the visual system much like physical therapy trains muscles, helping the eyes and brain work together more effectively.

Conditions Improved by Vision Therapy

The therapy is effective for a wide range of visual concerns.

  • Lazy eye, also called amblyopia
  • Crossed eyes, also called strabismus
  • Double vision
  • Reading and learning difficulties linked to visual processing

A Holistic Approach

By focusing on how vision integrates with balance and body movement, Vision Therapy supports overall daily function, from classroom learning to athletic performance.

Commitment to Continuing Education

Ongoing learning keeps our care at the forefront of vision science. Dr. Graebe consistently exceeds state education requirements to offer cutting-edge treatments.

Expanding Expertise Through Seminars

In January 2024 he will attend a Nashville seminar on the vestibular system and its role in vision, adding new therapy techniques for patients with balance and vision issues.

Engaging With the Global Medical Community

Regular collaboration with doctors worldwide through online forums keeps the practice current with the latest developments in neurology and vision science.

Mentoring Future Leaders

Frequently Asked Questions

Here are answers to common questions about Vision Therapy and our approach.

Who can benefit from Vision Therapy?

Children and adults with binocular vision problems, eye teaming difficulties, or visual processing challenges often experience significant improvement.
