Not a One-Week Event. A Program Built to Last.
Travel to NVPI for a focused in-office intensive, then continue guided training from home, up to 32 weeks of structured support.
Program at a Glance
At NVPI, seeing is not just about the eyes. Vision is a brain process, and this program is designed to help build stronger visual pathways through guided practice.
Led by Dr. Rick Graebe, O.D., FCOVD, and the NVPI team, with 40+ years of clinical experience and over 9,000 patients helped. Dr. Graebe holds the elite OVDR international designation, one of the only eye doctors in Kentucky with this credential.
This is not a quick fix or a one-size-fits-all retreat
This is a structured Neuro-Visual Performance Training program built around a focused in-office visit and supported by long-term follow-through.
It is built around functional vision: how you find, identify, understand, and respond to what you see in real life. Not just how small a line you can read on an eye chart.
Your plan combines multiple treatments into one coordinated approach. It is shaped by how your brain and visual system are working together, then matched to the level of support you need.
Research supports office-based therapy for improving how the eyes and brain work as a team. This program builds on that evidence with an integrated model designed for lasting results.
A guided 3-phase care journey
How the Program Works:
Each program follows the same structure: prepare before you travel, complete focused in-office care, then continue training with support at home.
Pre-Arrival
Your program starts before you travel so your in-office time has a clear purpose.
- •Virtual onboarding visit
- •Initial screening and planning
- •At-home preparation activities
- •Access to patient tools and next steps
- •Clear goals before arrival
In-Office Intensive
This focused 6–12 day phase helps establish a strong starting point for the work that follows.
- •Structured daily schedule
- •Care based on your program level
- •May include vision therapy, OMST, syntonics, perceptual training, and multisensory work
- •Build a clearer baseline for long-term progress
Continuation Program
This is where long-term change is reinforced through guided practice, support, and follow-up.
- •Remote sessions and guided home work
- •Progress checks and plan updates
- •Support that helps new visual pathways get stronger over time
- •Like learning to ride a bike, practice helps skills become more natural
Three levels of care designed around your needs
Each option follows the same 3-phase structure. The difference is the depth of in-office care and the level of follow-through support after you return home.
Good
Best for lower-complexity cases and patients who can stay consistent with guided home work.
- 6 days in-office
- Structured group-based OMST
- Guided home work and software-based support
- Up to 32 weeks total support
Better
Best for moderate complexity cases that need more direct clinical support and closer follow-through.
- 9 days in-office
- OMST plus individual treatment sessions
- Remote sessions plus guided home support
- Post-intensive virtual follow-up included
Best
Best for complex, layered, or long-standing cases that need a more individualized level of care.
- 12 days in-office with individualized care
- Individual care, OMST, and broader integrated treatment support
- Primarily live remote follow-through after return home
- Extended follow-up and doctor consult built in
Need more time in the office?
An extra in-office week may be added when more time is needed.

Programs designed around your needs
Children, adults, athletes, and patients recovering from injury can all benefit when the brain and visual system work together more efficiently. This program serves people at every age and stage of life.
Brain injury and concussion
For patients with visual symptoms that continue after injury and affect daily function.
Anxiety and overload
For patients whose visual system may be working too hard, adding stress and fatigue to everyday life.
Neurodevelopmental needs
For patients who need stronger visual, motor, and sensory integration skills.
Pediatric and school-age care
For children whose functional vision skills may be affecting learning, comfort, or confidence.
Athletes and sports vision
For athletes at every level who want to train their visual skills the same way they train their body.
Adult strabismus and amblyopia
For adults with eye turns or lazy eye whose coping strategies are no longer keeping up with life demands.
Rising visual demands
For adults facing new jobs, new parenthood, aging, or academic changes that overwhelm their visual system.
Stroke and neurological conditions
For patients with visual changes from stroke, Parkinson's, MS, or other neurological conditions.
Learn first. Decide when you’re ready.
There is no pressure to commit right away. Start by learning more, then speak with our team when you are ready.
Learn about your symptoms
Explore educational resources to better understand how visual function can affect daily life, school, work, and recovery.
Talk to a coordinator
Schedule a brief intake call to learn how the program works, who it may fit, and what the next step may be for your case.
Begin your plan
If you are a good fit, your care begins with onboarding, preparation, and a clear plan for your in-office phase and follow-through.
Support that helps you stay on track
Each level of care includes follow-through. The type and intensity of support depends on your needs and program level.
Live remote sessions
Scheduled visits with your therapist from home.
Guided home work
Structured exercises that reinforce what was built in the office.
Progress checks
Regular follow-up to monitor change and adjust the plan when needed.
Doctor follow-up
Virtual doctor follow-up is included at higher support levels.
Out-of-State and
International Patients
While many of our patients live within driving distance of our offices in Versailles, KY and Somerset, KY, some families and adults travel from across the country and around the world for Neuro-Visual Performance Training.
What to Know
Before You Travel
Our program is designed for patients who can commit to a focused in-office phase and structured follow-through after they return home. Before scheduling, we will review your case to be sure this model is a good fit.
Because each session is highly interactive and individualized, patients need to be able to communicate clearly with our team in English or with a dedicated interpreter arranged by the family or care partner.
If you are traveling from out of state or overseas, we may request diagnostic records from your local eye doctor or rehabilitation team. This helps us confirm that Neuro-Visual Performance Training is appropriate before you plan an in-office intensive.
For local patients, in-office visits are typically scheduled several times per week over a number of months. For out-of-town patients, we condense this work into a defined 6–12 day intensive, followed by guided remote support to extend the total program to as long as 32 weeks.
Our team can share general guidance about timing your stay and the daily therapy schedule. However, families and patients are responsible for arranging their own travel, lodging, visas, and other logistics that may be required.
If you are considering traveling to NVPI, the first step is a brief intake conversation with a Patient Care Coordinator. We will discuss your goals, review basic medical history, and outline what an in-office intensive and follow-through plan could look like for your situation.
