The Neuro-Visual Performance Institute, led by Dr. Rick Graebe FCOVD, has recently completed a major 1,600 square-foot expansion at its Versailles location, introducing state-of-the-art technology to advance vision therapy and neuro-rehabilitation services. This enhancement enables Dr. Graebe and his team to offer a range of specialized services that are rare not only in Kentucky but nationwide. By adding dedicated space and new equipment, they’re able to provide an elevated level of care for both children and adults dealing with various visual challenges.
Enhanced Vision Therapy and Neuro-Rehabilitation Services
Dr. Graebe’s office expansion reflects his commitment to providing comprehensive vision care through neuro-rehabilitation. His approach centers on addressing the entire visual system, a process that can benefit people who experience difficulties due to traumatic brain injuries, strokes, sports-related issues, and more.
After touring dozens of top-performing vision therapy clinics across the U.S., Dr. Graebe adopted best practices from the field’s most advanced experts. This new facility now includes private spaces tailored for individual therapy, giving patients the flexibility to train in a quieter environment when needed.
“Our newly expanded space allows us to offer services unmatched in Kentucky,” Dr. Graebe said. “With additional room and specialized tools, we’re able to take care of our patients more effectively than ever before.”
Innovative Tools for Brain Training and Sports Vision
The expansion isn’t just about space; it’s also about cutting-edge technology. Dr. Graebe has introduced advanced tools to enhance brain training and sports vision training. One of the highlights is the Senaptec system, designed to measure and improve sports performance by focusing on sport-specific skills. Complementing this is the Neurotracker, a 3-D TV tool that enhances concentration.
An even more immersive experience is offered by the A.M.P System, which adds a virtual reality element to the Neurotracker. Through virtual reality headsets, athletes can engage in sport-specific drills, such as practicing baseball by observing the spin on a pitch. These tools allow patients to replicate the physical and mental demands of real-world sports settings, ultimately refining their reaction times, focus, and visual processing skills.
Vision Therapy that Addresses Stress and Performance
Beyond sports, Dr. Graebe’s new equipment enables work on brain wave training, which is particularly helpful in stress management. He explains, “When we’re stressed, our vision tends to narrow, making it harder to see the bigger picture.” Dr. Graebe has used this technology on himself to reduce his “brain wave age” by nearly 20 years, demonstrating the potential impact of these therapies on stress reduction and overall well-being.
Dr. Graebe’s approach is holistic, viewing vision as a process that incorporates the eyes, brain, body, and mind. With over 35 years of experience, he continues to develop therapies that help patients achieve their full potential, whether it’s improved focus, reduced anxiety, or heightened athletic performance.
