NeuroVisual Performance Exam

A modern, integrated approach to Vision Therapy and Functional Vision Care.

What Is NeuroVisual Training?

NeuroVisual Training is a comprehensive, system-based approach that integrates vision therapy with precise optical correction—including prism when appropriate—to improve how the eyes and brain function together in real-world situations.

Most eye exams measure how clearly you see. A NeuroVisual Performance Exam evaluates how efficiently your visual system actually works—how your eyes team, track, focus, and process information throughout the day.

This program is designed for patients whose symptoms go beyond a standard glasses prescription, even if they see 20/20.

How NeuroVisual Training Works

Optimize the Visual Input

Precision Eyewear:

  • Customized glasses tailored to your visual system
  • Prism when appropriate to improve alignment and reduce strain
  • Creates a more stable and comfortable visual foundation

Train the Visual System

Vision Therapy:

  • Improves eye teaming, tracking, and focusing
  • Builds coordination, efficiency, and endurance
  • Targets the root cause of symptoms—not just compensation

Apply to Real Life

Guided Home Training:

  • Reinforces skills outside the office
  • Improves carryover into reading, work, sports, and daily activities
  • Supports faster, more meaningful progress

Common Signs and Symptoms

  • Headaches and eye strain
  • Dizziness or balance issues
  • Post-concussion visual symptoms
  • Difficulty with reading, focus, or tracking
  • Visual discomfort with prolonged screen use
  • Poor hand-eye coordination
  • Depth perception or spatial awareness challenges
  • Slower reaction time or visual performance in sports

Who Can Benefit?

Children & Teens

  • Reading difficulties
  • Trouble focusing or sustaining attention
  • Academic performance concerns
  • Challenges with coordination or sports performance

Adults

  • Headaches, fatigue, or screen-related strain
  • Difficulty with sustained near work
  • Visual discomfort despite “normal” eye exams
  • Intermittent or persistent double vision

Performance & Recovery

  • Post-concussion symptoms
  • Balance and spatial awareness issues
  • Athletes looking to improve coordination, timing, and visual processing

A More Complete Approach Than Traditional Vision Therapy

Traditional vision therapy focuses primarily on exercises.

NeuroVisual Training takes a more comprehensive approach by combining therapy with the right prescription—sometimes including prism—to create a more efficient and coordinated visual system.

By addressing both the input (glasses/prism) and the processing (training), patients often experience more meaningful and lasting improvements.

A Holistic Approach to Visual Performance and Development

Supporting visual development starts with understanding that there are effective care and treatment options available. Dr. Shelley Kim, who leads Metro Eye’s NeuroVisual Training program, focuses on how the eyes and brain work together to support learning, coordination, and overall performance.

For children, teens, and active individuals, flexible and practical treatment options are essential. Our NeuroVisual Training program offers a comprehensive range of care, including customized lenses or prism, in-office and at-home training activities, and strategies that support visual processing in everyday environments.

Dr. Kim and our NeuroVisual Training team work closely with each patient and family to develop a personalized plan that evolves over time—ensuring care remains aligned with individual goals, progress, and long-term success.

How the Program Is Structured

Comprehensive NeuroVisual Performance Exam
