What is Sports Vision?

Vision care for athletes starts with identifying visual factors that can influence peak athletic performance. In addition to thorough comprehensive eye exams, athletes often need an evaluation of visual motor and visual perceptual skills. These skills can vary depending on the specific spots and the individual’s role.

By identifying any weaknesses in these areas, athletes can enhance not only these visual skills but also their perormance in their sport.

FAU — Performance and Safety

“The importance of having eye exams or at least just a base vision evaluation is to make sure that the guys are seeing everything that they need to on the field, not just to perform at their best, but also to stay safe. So we’re checking to make sure that they have great visual acuity, also that they can see well up close, since they’re also student athletes. We’re checking their depth perception, and then we’re taking some important concussion baselines.”

-Dr. Amanda Nanasy, Director of the Florida Institute of Sports Vision

“Your biggest muscle as a goalie is your eyes. I do a lot of visual training in my pregame routine to warm up my eyes and keep them sharp. If you’re not seeing it, nothing else matters. Your eyes are the basis of your whole game.”
