Unlock Your Full Visual Potential
At Neuro-Visual Performance Institute, we believe vision is more than 20/20 eyesight. We help children, athletes, and adults strengthen the visual skills that shape learning, performance, and daily life.
A Different Approach to Vision Care
Founded more than 25 years ago, NVPI has helped thousands of patients improve the way their eyes, brain, and body work together through Neuro-Visual Performance Training.
With nearly four decades of experience, we provide expert care with a personal, compassionate approach tailored to each patient’s needs.
“The great thing about vision therapy is that it changes pathways in the brain. That means it opens doors for people, giving them opportunities in life that would not be available if these skills were not in place.”
Dr. Rick Graebe, O.D., FOVDR & Founder
A Visionary In Vision
Dr. Rick Graebe is a board certified eye doctor and long-time leader in functional, developmental, behavioral, and neuro-rehabilitation vision care. His work is rooted in a simple belief: when vision works better, life works better.
With 40+ years in private practice and experience helping thousands of patients, Dr. Graebe has become known for an integrated approach that looks beyond eyesight alone to improve how the eyes, brain, and body work together.
Elite Clinical Training
Advanced specialty training in vision development, rehabilitation, and functional care supports a broader, more complete clinical approach.
Whole-System Care
Every patient plan is designed around function, not just symptoms, so care supports learning, movement, comfort, and performance together.
Dr. Graebe is recognized for a broader, more comprehensive model of care designed to improve function across daily life. His work combines deep experience with a practical, patient-centered mindset.
Revolutionizing Lives Through Integrated Vision Science
At NVPI, different treatment approaches work together to support meaningful improvement in less time. No two patients follow the exact same path, which is why every plan is built around each person’s goals, symptoms, and stage of life.
This integrated model is what makes Neuro-Visual Performance Training different. It brings clinical insight, practical tools, and whole-person care into one coordinated program.
