Sports Vision focuses on improving the visual performance of athletes. Sports vision training helps improve visual skills important for professional, para and recreational sports performance. Sports Vision Testing helps athletes determine how well their eyes perform. These tests go beyond standard eye tests that only evaluate the ability to see letters and objects clearly when we are not moving. Sports Vision Testing measures the full spectrum of visual processing skills necessary for optimal performance. Sports Vision Training improves eye-hand coordination, depth perception, visual processing speed and reaction time. You will leave with a better understanding of sports vision and sports vision testing along with simple procedures to help your athlete achieve maximum success.
