Sports Vision Optometry

Sports Vision Optometry is a specialized branch of optometry focused on enhancing athletes' visual performance. It encompasses assessments and training to improve skills such as depth perception, peripheral awareness, and hand-eye coordination. Techniques may include vision therapy, customized eyewear, and strategies to reduce visual distractions. By optimizing vision, sports vision optometrists help athletes perform better, react faster, and reduce the risk of injury. This field recognizes that clear and effective vision is crucial for success in sports, just as physical training and skill development are.
