Vision and Sport Performance

It's better to see better

When sport activities are practiced it is important to see well in order to obtain the best results, for both, competitive and non-competitive activities. Good vision skills are necessary for a lot of sports.

Vision and Performance

Do not underrate a visual defect even if you think it is of little importance. The health of your eyes will suffer and as a consequence, your performance will be affected. The right visual correction is fundamental, as is a regular eye check.

Sport related vision skills

Dynamic Vision

The ability to see moving objects clearly. A goalkeeper can see a ball coming at high speed towards him as clearly as a static ball, as if time had stopped at that moment.

Vision tracking

The ability to track a moving object, no matter how fast it is moving. The difference from "dynamic vision" is that vision tracking enables you to follow the tracks of moving objects.

Vision focusing

The ability to change focus quickly and accurately between objects at different distances. A hurdler need to be able to see all 11 hurdles at different distances clearly and accurately.

Peripheral vision

The ability to see and observe out of "the corner of your eye", when looking at a fixed object. In team sports like basketball or volleyball, a player must be able to see his team member passing him the ball even when holding the gaze of an opponent right in front of him.

Focusing regulation

The ability to retain eye coordination during high-speed activities or while under high physiological pressure.

Depth Perception

The ability to judge the distance and speed of objects quickly and accurately. A diver needs to judge the distance from the water surface accurately to be able to complete the diving motions correctly.

Sports Vision Assessment & Training

Sports vision training for tennis performance

Almost all sports require good vision skills with different sports having different requirements. With the help of advanced vision testing equipment, eye care professionals can prepare detailed assessments of vision skills for professional and amateur athletes engaging in different sports.

On that basis, athletes can engage in an individual sport vision training program.
