If you are considering virtual vision therapy for your child or yourself, one of the first questions is usually the most practical one:

How much does it cost?

That is a fair question, and we believe it should be answered clearly.

The Short Answer

At SuccessfulSight™, the full program cost is $2,400.

Families can choose between:

  • Pay in full — a single $2,400 payment
  • Payment plan — $800 initial payment followed by monthly payments

That price includes up to 24 weeks of program access — about six months.

What Is Included in That Price?

SuccessfulSight™ is not an app subscription. It is a complete virtual vision therapy program, and the program fee covers everything needed to complete it at home:

  • The iPad
  • The home equipment package
  • Shipping
  • Full access to the SuccessfulSight™ therapy program for up to 24 weeks
  • Therapist messaging support throughout the program
  • One one-on-one therapist onboarding session

In other words, families are not paying for a few exercises or a collection of games. They are paying for a complete virtual vision therapy program designed to deliver the same core therapy experience virtually — with the tools, structure, and support needed to follow it through.

What Is Not Included?

A few costs are billed separately from the SuccessfulSight™ program fee:

  • The initial evaluation with your primary care optometrist
  • Follow-up visits with your local prescribing provider
  • Additional virtual sessions beyond what is included in the program

Your follow-up visits with your local optometrist are billed according to their own office fees. If a family wants extra one-on-one virtual sessions beyond the included onboarding and support structure, those are $100 per session.

How Long Does the Program Last?

SuccessfulSight™ includes up to 24 weeks of program access.

For most patients, the program is designed to run over a structured period of time. The fastest expected completion is about 18 weeks, but families have access for up to 24 weeks so the program can unfold appropriately without rushing.

If more time is needed beyond that, continued access is available at $250 per month.

Why Does Virtual Vision Therapy Cost What It Does?

This is where many families need more context.

Virtual vision therapy happens at home — but that does not mean it is a simple or low-value version of care.

The cost of SuccessfulSight™ reflects:

  • A complete therapy program rather than isolated exercises
  • Individualized program design based on clinical data from the prescribing optometrist
  • Progression built into the program
  • Therapist support throughout care
  • A shipped iPad and home equipment package
  • Guided video instruction
  • Interactive therapy activities
  • Attention tracking and scoring
  • Structured home delivery over a six-month period

So while the therapy is virtual, it is still a real treatment program with real tools, real structure, and real support.

Is Virtual Vision Therapy Less Expensive Than In-Office Therapy?

In many cases, yes.

In-office vision therapy is often billed per session. Publicly posted clinic pricing shows that many practices charge roughly $150 to $220 per visit — with some clinics listing ranges like $172 per session, $175 to $200 per session, or $220 per session. Some clinics also publish total program ranges from about $1,000 to $9,000, depending on diagnosis, length of treatment, and office structure.

In our own office, in-person vision therapy is typically around $200 per week. That may look like:

  • $200 for a 45-minute session once a week, or
  • $110 per session when patients are doing two 30-minute sessions per week

Traditional in-office therapy can add up quickly over time — especially when families are also paying for:

  • Transportation and gas
  • Time off work
  • Missed school time
  • Repeated weekly travel to and from a specialty clinic

SuccessfulSight™ is lower in cost because families are not paying for a facility visit and in-person therapist time every single week. Instead, they receive a complete structured program delivered virtually, while local follow-up stays with their optometrist.

Is SuccessfulSight™ Covered by Insurance?

At this time, SuccessfulSight™ is self-pay.

That said, we can provide fee slips for families who want to pursue reimbursement on their own.

Can Families Use HSA or FSA Funds?

In many cases, families may be able to use HSA or FSA funds for qualified medical expenses — but that depends on the rules of your specific plan.

The IRS treats many medically necessary vision expenses as qualified medical expenses, but families should confirm eligibility with their plan administrator or tax professional before assuming coverage.

Is There a Trial Period?

Yes.

SuccessfulSight™ includes a two-week trial period.

If a family chooses to discontinue during that trial period, they can receive a full refund as long as the equipment is returned.

Why Some Families Still Choose Virtual Care Even When In-Office Care Exists

Cost matters — but it is not the only factor.

For many families, virtual vision therapy is appealing because it can also mean:

  • Less travel
  • Less disruption to school and work
  • Easier scheduling
  • Access to a full program without living near a specialty clinic
  • Continued involvement from a local optometrist
  • A more structured option than trying to do exercises independently

The decision is not only about the number. It is also about whether the format works better for the family’s real life.

The Bottom Line

SuccessfulSight™ costs $2,400 for up to 24 weeks of access.

That includes:

  • The iPad
  • The equipment package
  • Shipping
  • The full virtual vision therapy program
  • Therapist messaging
  • One onboarding session

Families pay separately for:

  • The initial evaluation
  • Local follow-up visits with their optometrist
  • Any extra virtual sessions beyond what is included

For many families, that creates a more affordable and more practical path to full vision therapy than traveling to a specialty clinic week after week.

Want to See If SuccessfulSight™ Is the Right Fit?

The best next step is an evaluation with a participating optometrist, who can determine whether SuccessfulSight™ is appropriate and what the starting point should be.
