Sportsvision describes all the aspects of vision required in sport. It is much more complex than simply recording how well you can read a test chart, or see straight ahead.
- Visual Acuity - How well you can see straight ahead of you.
- Eye Dominance.
- How well the eyes work together to provide 3D vision. This is directly related to timing and accuracy. Striking a ball or aiming at a goal.
- Peripheral awareness.
- Eye speed and ability to follow a moving target.
- Ability to cope with poor contrast failing light overcast conditions etc.
- Which colour filters improve your vision?
The Sportsvision treatment is individually tailored to the sportspersons requirements. Consultation with the individual or coach will help identify specific areas requiring improvement.
- Improving vision or restoring eye dominance with glasses or contact lenses.
- Improving timing and accuracy with the aid of an eye exercise programme.
- Minimising glare and improving contrast with specially prescribed tint
We provide group assessments at your club. Ideally groups of ten at a time. Allow 30 mins. per person. Further testing may be required. This can be arranged at a time to suit the individual at a later date.
Individual assessments of adults or children may be arranged at:
