If you’re an athlete, you’re fully aware of the importance of optimal vision. The quality of your vision can make a tremendous difference in your athletic performance. When eye care specialists talk about sports vision, they’re referring to methods of fine-tuning your vision to substantially improve your sports performance. These FAQs from Arena Eye Care Optometry in Sacramento can help you learn more about sports vision and how it can improve your game.

What exactly is “Sports Vision?”

This term is used to define the visual acuity athletes need to enhance their sports performance. It also refers to the methods used to evaluate and improve athletic vision to take it to the next level.

Why is sports vision so important for athletes?

Competition is fierce among athletes today as they strive to make their mark in their respective game. Optimal vision can give them an advantage in their field. Sports like basketball, golf, hockey, football, and others call for excellent focusing, eye teaming and depth perception visual skills. By undergoing training that can improve these skills, athletes can substantially improve their game. A player with excellent visual skills will be more valuable to his team.

How can you improve 20/20 vision?

20/20 vision is actually a rating to describe what the average person can see at a specific distance. Sports vision training can improve a 20/20 visual acuity rating by enhancing depth perception, visual processing and other aspects of your sight.

What role do eye care specialists play in sports vision?

At Arena Eye Care Optometry, we recognize the difference that sports vision can make in the lives of professional athletes as well as amateur sports players who simply want better vision to improve their game.

If you need to wear glasses or contact lenses to see well, you can benefit from sports vision testing to affirm that your prescription is providing optimal vision for sports play. Sports vision testing goes beyond the typical eye health and acuity exam. Our eye care specialists will test your eyes for ocular alignment, contrast sensitivity, eye dominance, visual processing speed and depth perception along with quality acuity.

Depending on the results of your tests, we’ll consider different approaches for optimizing and protecting your eyes for sports play. Specialty contact lenses may help. Tinted eyewear is also an option to enhance your sports vision. Vitamins safe for teens and up to take can increase visual processing speed.

Sports Vision Testing and Training Will Make Your Vision The Best It Can Be For Sports Play And Daily Living.
