Are you ready to take your game to the next level? Sports vision training can be the factor that transforms a good athlete into an exceptional athlete.
Over 80% of the information transmitted to our brains is visual.
Some of the best professional and amateur athletes have used this type of vision training to elevate their games and perform at their best.
Role of Vision inSports Performance
An athlete needs more than talent, strength and passion to compete. Whether it’s shooting a 3-pointer, picking up the path of a curveball, sinking that long putt or lining up a target, good vision plays an important role in your performance.
But 20/20 vision is only one important factor involved in attaining maximum visual performance. Coordination, balance, accuracy and concentration are just a few of the vision-related abilities used in all sports.
Gaining a CompetitiveEdge with Sports Vision
At Peak Performance Vision we perform evaluations involving task-related tests to determine visual strengths and weaknesses influencing athletic performance. More than a standard eye examination, our Sports Vision Evaluation provides a performance profile of the visual skills used to excel in athletics.
If a weakness is found in any of these skills, the athlete may be under-performing. A Sports Vision Enhancement or Training Program can be developed to improve these skills and could help the athlete take their game to the next level.
Visual Skills in Sports
Visual Acuity
Clarity of vision, critical in all sports. Contrast sensitivity and dynamic acuity are important for seeing objects in motion clearly.
Eye Tracking
The ability to “keep your eyes on the ball” and look from one object to another.
Depth Perception
Aiming the eyes at various distances and positions of gaze. Essential in the athlete’s judgement of distance and speed.
Peripheral Vision
Seeing people and objects “out of the corner of your eye.” It enables you to keep track of teammates and opponents while concentrating on the ball.

Changing focus quickly, clearly and accurately from one distance to another. Efficiency in these skills is critical for any athlete to avoid visual judgement errors.
Eye-Hand-Body Coordination
Critical to reaction time, accuracy in aiming and body position.
