Optometry for Sports Performance

It is common for athletes to put in a lot of time both on and off the field to improve their game. Sports vision plays a tremendous role in helping athletes reach their full potential. A sports vision evaluation allows you to enhance your performance by correcting any vision problems that may be limiting your effectiveness.

The Vision System

The first step in answering questions about sports vision involves understanding the basic parts of our vision:

  • Visual acuity: The sharpness of your eyesight.
  • Light: The eyes use light to help make the image on the back of your eyes.
  • Eye tracking: Eyes move in a pattern when an object is moving around you.
  • Depth perception: The ability to judge the distance and position of various objects.
  • Eye teaming: This is also referred to as binocular vision. It's the function of both eyes working together, creating vision. If the brain doesn't receive two images, it can't merge them to see one 3D image.

Sports Vision FAQs

Here are some common questions related to this topic.

How Much Time Should Be Set Aside for Sports Vision Training?

Sports vision training is similar to physical exercise. Both benefit from repeated practice and constant attention to improvement. Sports vision training requires 20 to 30 minutes of daily practice for at least one month.

What Areas Can Be Improved with Sports Vision Training?

With sports vision training, an athlete improves his or her visual skills. Skills are the abilities the brain uses to interpret and react to incoming information from the eyes. Sports vision training can improve several key areas of sports performance, including hand-eye coordination, concentration, and reaction time.

How Do You Improve Eye Tracking?

Eye tracking is the ability to direct your eyes toward an object, whether it's on the playing field or a television screen. It is directly linked to being able to react quickly and effectively to an object that's moving around or toward you.

How Can You Improve Depth Perception?

Depth perception is the ability to judge the distance and position of various objects. If you're trying to shoot a basketball, for example, you're going to need sharp depth perception skills.
