What is Sports Vision?

Vision care for athletes should begin with the identification of visual factors that potentially contribute to peak athletic performance.  Beyond quality comprehensive eye exams, there are other areas of visual motor and visual perceptual skills that are unique to athletes. These skills can also be different for each specific sport. By discovering if any weaknesses lie in these areas, athletes have an opportunity to enhance not only these visual skills but also the resulting performance 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.”

“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.”
