Services
Services Offered:
Please note: Brooklyn Vision Therapy does not participate with medical and vision plans - this practice is considered out-of-network. Payment information is required at time of booking and due in full at the time of service. A detailed super bill will be provided upon payment. We do not offer annual eye exams for new patients, as our focus is specialized care. If you have not had an annual eye exam within 12 months, an additional visit may be required to dilate the eyes and assess ocular health.
Have questions about vision therapy? You can now schedule a no-cost quick call with Dr. Bakhru. Keep in mind, no medical advice or medical decision making will be made on this call - a full consultation is needed to determine if vision therapy will be beneficial and how many sessions may be needed.
Please note, while there is no charge for this call, it does block patient-care time off of the doctor’s calendar. A $25 cancellation fee will be charged if the call is cancelled within 24 hours.

Vision Skills Evaluation
90 minutes / $450
A detailed and quantifiable testing battery that assesses visual efficiency skills including:
Binocular Vision (eye alignment, eye coordination, depth perception)
Saccades (moving eyes from point to point to shift visual attention)
Pursuits (ability to follow a moving target)
Accommodation (changing optical focus)
Reading Eye Movements
These skills allow us to see, read, work and use our eyes comfortably and efficiently.
The exam also includes a detailed refractive analysis (checking for a glasses prescription) in a way that optimizes comfort, clarity and balances the workload of the eyes. Specialized tints or prisms may be included in the final prescription on a case-by-case basis. Not all patients are recommended a prescription immediately, or at all, but many are.
The evaluation will also help to determine if vision therapy would be beneficial and what the course of treatment would look like.
Dr. Bakhru will also suggest personalized workplace / school accommodations and simple “tech hacks” that can significantly improve visual comfort to help you navigate living in the digital age.
Length of time to complete will vary based on patient’s abilities and symptoms and additional visits to complete further testing are occasionally needed. A full written report can be requested for an additional $100 administrative fee.
Please note: this does not replace an annual comprehensive eye exam which assesses ocular health and rules out ocular pathology. We recommend an annual eye exam with dilation or wide-angle fundus photography.
Visual Perceptual Evaluation
90 minutes / $475
Additional office visits are occasionally needed on a case-by-case basis to complete testing.
Assesses higher order visual information processing and perceptual skills such as:
Visual Discrimination (being able to distinguish visual differences)
Visual Memory
Form constancy
Laterality/Directionality
Spatial Reasoning
Figure Ground
Visual-Motor Integration
A perceptual evaluation is recommended only after vision skills have been assessed first.
Length of time to complete will vary based on patient’s abilities and symptoms. Additional visits are occasionally needed to complete testing.
Vision Therapy
30 minutes / $175
Weekly, in-office, 1:1 vision therapy sessions.
Dr. Bakhru creates a customized protocol of office and home therapy activities for each patient based on their needs and goals. Generally, a program of 20-30 sessions (~4-7 months) are recommended. Vision therapy sessions are once a week at a recurring time slot, and will be scheduled by our office after a vision skills evaluation is completed.
