What is Sports Vision Training?
Although vision-impaired individuals can do well in selected sports, most sports rely heavily on excellent vision for good or best performance. As Sports Vision specialists, we see the vision as a primary to sports achievement and we know that an athlete’s visual skills can be vastly improved and enhanced by the types of conditioning and eye exercises that our Sports Vision Training programs provide. And better vision leads to better performance in sports.
Here are some of the many visual skills that are improved through Sports Vision Training.
- Visual Acuity at All Distances (Adaptable Clear Vision): Do the two eyes maintain clear vision at varying distances at all times? Clear vision at all distances is important to sports success.
- Eye Focusing Skills Shifting and Sustaining Sharp Vision: Do the two eyes shift and sustain focusing power quickly and easily? Accurate eye focusing skills are a big boon for an athlete in any game with moving objects and/or players, especially in a fast-paced game. Sports Vision Training can enhance focusing power, agility, and speed.
- Eye Tracking: Eye Teaming, and Eye Movement Skills: Do the two eyes aim, move, and work as an effective coordinated team? Fast, fluid, binocular vision with coordinated eye movements and smooth eye tracking skills are essential to success in sports.
- Depth Perception: Good binocular depth perception enables accurate assessment of relative distances, such as where the athlete’s body is in relation to other objects or people.
- Peripheral Vision and Awareness: Widening your peripheral field of vision and peripheral awareness allows a better perception of action, motion, space, and objects to the sides of your eyes and body without having to move your eyes in that direction. In other words, you can perceive what is happening around you without having to move your eyes away from a single focal point or visual target.
Types of Sports Vision Tests:
Sports vision tests assess how well an athlete sees. There are a variety of sports vision tests used, depending on the individual athlete’s needs. A sports vision specialist may assess an athlete’s vision using one or more of the following tests:
- Snellen Eye Chart
- Contrast Sensitivity Tests
- Eye Tracking Devices
- Ocular Alignment Tests
- Eye Dominance Tests
Other sports vision tests used include:
- Depth perception measurements
- Assessments of visual processing speed and hand-eye co-ordination
- Eye teaming tests (how your eyes work together as a team)
