Want that Winning edge?

A typical eye exam doesn't test all vision skills. Sports vision testing is more extensive and tailored to your specific sports. There are many types of tests to evaluate how you use your vision while moving around outdoors and interacting with objects and players. A few tests include:

Eye-hand-body coordination is how your muscles and limbs react to the information gathered by your eyes. It affects timing and body control.

Eye tracking is following an object with your eyes without much head motion. It is important with any sport that involves a fast-moving ball. Good eye tracking will improve balance and reaction time.

Dynamic Visual Acuity is your ability to see objects that are moving fast. This is important in sports like tennis, racquetball and hockey.

Visual concentration is your ability to ignore distractions happening around you. Training your eyes to not react to movement in the field or vision from spectators, other participants or the playing environment can improve your game.

Vision therapy 

Though some vision problems can be treated using corrective lenses, many require a different kind of treatment. Vision therapy is a series of exercises or activities prescribed and monitored by your eye doctor to treat problems with visual skill and processing. After a comprehensive eye exam, your optometrist may determine that vision therapy is the best option for treatment.  Vision therapy can effectively treat poorly developed vision, eye movement disorders, misaligned eyes, inefficient eye teaming, focusing problems, and other visual information processing disorders. Ask our doctors to learn more.
