Our Five-Step Process

Your Path to Clarity Starts Here

We’ve designed a comprehensive, supportive and transformative journey to take you from struggle to success. Here’s what to expect at every step.

Care as Unique as Your Brain

At Brain Vision Institute, we don’t believe in one-size-fits-all solutions. Every brain is unique, and your care should be too. From the moment you walk through our doors to your ongoing success, we’re with you every step of the way.

This is not a quick fix. This is an accelerated transformation.

Step 1

Your Personal History

We Start by Truly Understanding You

About 2 hours with Dr. Lorenzana

To help us learn more about you, you’ll meet with Dr. Lorenzana for a comprehensive intake.

Together, we’ll explore your symptoms and the key areas of your life (biological, psychological and social) that may be contributing to them. This visit takes about two hours, because we believe in fully understanding our patients’ needs.

What to expect

  • A safe, judgment-free space to share your story
  • A deep look at your symptoms and how they affect your daily life
  • Clarity on your goals, your challenges and what success looks like for you
  • A whole-person view of the factors behind your struggles

Step 2

Evidence-Based Clinical Assessment

Uncover the "Why" Behind Your Challenges

Your Brain-Visual Evaluation

Next comes our comprehensive Brain-Visual Evaluation. This isn’t a standard eye exam. We go deeper, using advanced, evidence-based diagnostics to map the connection between your eyes and your brain.

For the first time, you’ll see a clear picture of the root cause of your struggles, and feel the validation of knowing there’s a reason for what you’ve been experiencing.

What we measure

  • Visual acuity and refractive error
  • Eye teaming and coordination
  • Focusing ability and flexibility
  • Eye tracking and movement control
  • Visual processing speed
  • Peripheral awareness
  • Depth perception and spatial awareness
  • How vision works with hearing and the rest of the brain
  • Nervous-system status, including primitive reflexes and vagus nerve tone

The result: a comprehensive report that shows exactly where your visual system is breaking down, and how we can help fix it.

Step 3

Your Comprehensive Treatment Plan

A Personalized Plan Built Just for You

Dr. Lorenzana will review your results with you and create a treatment plan specific to your needs and goals.

Unlike approaches that simply put a bandage on symptoms, we take an integrative vision–brain–body approach that addresses the underlying issues. We use the least invasive, most effective solutions, and your plan is built on the six pillars of the CogniViiSION® Method, customized to your brain.

Your plan may include

  • Performance neuro-optical glasses: may include a mild prescription, prism for posture and alignment, and/or colored filters
  • Neuro-visual therapy: targeted exercises to rebuild visual pathways
  • Photobiomodulation: light therapy to calm the nervous system and reduce inflammation
  • Nutritional support: brain-specific supplements and dietary guidance
  • Mindset & stress management: techniques to rewire limiting beliefs and regulate the nervous system
  • Structural support: referrals for chiropractic, physical therapy or other bodywork as needed
  • Community integration: strategies to use your new skills in real-world settings

You'll leave this appointment with

  • A clear understanding of what’s causing your symptoms
  • A step-by-step roadmap to recovery
  • Confidence that there’s a path forward

Step 4

Transform Through Treatment

Your Personalized Path to Rewire Your Brain

Typically about 2 hours per week

Based on your assessment and treatment plan, we begin your customized CogniViiSION® program. Through targeted neuro-visual therapies grounded in the six pillars, we work to upgrade your brain’s “operating system,” creating new, more efficient pathways.

You’ll feel the change as your brain begins to work with you, not against you.

The science behind it: neuroplasticity is the brain’s ability to reorganize and build new pathways. Because up to 90% of the information your brain uses comes through vision, training the visual system creates improvements that cascade throughout the brain. This is habilitation, not just rehabilitation: we’re not only restoring damaged pathways, we’re building new ones.

What treatment looks like

  • One-on-one sessions with Dr. Lorenzana or a trained therapist
  • Progressive brain-vision exercises that challenge and strengthen your visual system
  • Home practice to reinforce new neural pathways
  • Regular progress assessments to track your improvement
  • Adjustments to your plan as you progress

Step 5

Ongoing Follow-Up & Lifelong Support

Your Partner in Lifelong Brain Health

In person, by phone or by video

Think of us as your partner in lifelong brain health. After your evaluation, you’ll have a follow-up appointment, in person, by phone or by video conference, where you and your doctor will review how you’re doing and answer any remaining questions.

We’re here for ongoing help with neuro-visual therapy, integrative care, nutritional supplements and more. Transformation goes beyond the clinic, so we support you as you bring your new skills into daily life.

Our commitment: your success is our success. We don’t just want you to feel better; we want you to thrive.

What ongoing support includes

  • Regular check-ins to monitor progress
  • Adjustments to your treatment plan as needed
  • Access to our team for questions and concerns
  • Resources for continued growth and optimization
  • A community of support and encouragement

Why Our Process Works

The Science Behind the Success

Our five-step process is grounded in decades of research on neuroplasticity, vision science and integrative medicine.

Comprehensive

We don't just look at your eyes. We look at your whole brain, body and life.

Evidence-based

Our techniques are grounded in peer-reviewed research.

Personalized

Your plan is built for your brain, not a generic protocol.

Holistic

We address root causes, not just symptoms.

Supportive

You're never alone on this journey.

The result: lasting transformation, not temporary relief.

Frequently Asked Questions

It depends on your needs. The initial intake and evaluation typically take 3–4 hours in total. Treatment programs range from about 24 hourly sessions to 48 hours or more, delivered at roughly 2 hours per week, all tailored to the complexity of your case. You’ll get a clear timeline during your treatment planning session.

We are an out-of-network provider, but we can provide a superbill you can submit to your insurance for possible reimbursement. Many HSA and FSA plans cover our services, and we offer payment plans to make care accessible.

Yes. Each step builds on the one before it, and skipping steps would compromise your results. That said, life happens. If you need to pause or adjust your timeline, we’ll work with you.

Many of our patients come to us after trying other treatments without success. Often the reason is that those approaches didn’t address the underlying visual processing problems holding healing back. Our comprehensive, brain-first approach looks for that missing link.

Absolutely. We work with patients of all ages, from infants to seniors, and the process is adapted to be age-appropriate and engaging for children.
