Still comfortable with so-so vision?

Pick any sport and there’s a different reason for how crucial it is to have perfect visual skills.

FOOTBALL
Quarterbacks need enhanced peripheral vision skills to see defensive linemen coming at them “out of the corner” of their eyes and find an open receiver. Wide Receivers, Tight Ends, Cornerbacks and Safeties require a high level of depth perception and eye focusing to accurately judge the speed and distance of a football coming at them in a coverage situation.


BASEBALL
When they stand at the plate, baseball players need the kind of eye tracking that enables them to “keep their eyes on the ball” and improve their batting average. Catchers need a laser-sharp focus as they’re delivered a variety of pitches. Infielders need the same focus to field a sharply-hit ground ball. Outfielders require excellent depth perception to judge a pop fly.


BASKETBALL
Basketball players need the visualization skills to picture making a free throw in their “mind’s eye.” In a fast break situation, players racing up the court (and players on defense) need fusion flexibility and stamina in their eyesight, so they can keep both eyes working together at high-speed.


TENNIS and RACQUETBALL
Tennis and racquetball players need the dynamic visual acuity to see the ball clearly while it’s in motion, which helps improve reaction time and results in more solid hits.


GOLF
Golfers need superb depth perception to accurately judge the distance to the hole, which can have a profound impact on selecting the proper club. This in turn can affect every facet of a golfer’s game, including drives, second shots and chipping. Additionally, superb eye tracking is a must in order to appropriately “read” the greens for a fundamentally sound putting game.


SOCCER and HOCKEY
A goalie in soccer can’t afford to have poor eye tracking when it comes to receiving a penalty kick – from the time it leaves the opposing player’s foot to the time it reaches the goalie’s hands, the focus on the ball has to be crystal-clear. The same principle holds true for goalies in hockey, who have to zero in lightning-quick on a puck coming at them from an opposing player’s slapshot.


VOLLEYBALL
Whether it’s an opposing player’s serve, spike or volley near the net, a volleyball player has plenty of different shots of varying degrees and distances to think about. And every one of them requires nothing less than the best depth perception in their vision.
