what we see.

| What is Sports Vision? | ||
Physical prowess, agility, coordination and strength have always been the main criteria in judging athletic ability. And all athletic training programs have been designed with those criteria in mind, even though our body will only respond to what it can see. Despite this fact, little attention has been paid to vision, which is now the last frontier for those interested in improving their performance on and off the playing field.
This last frontier, the optometric discipline known as Sports Vision, starts with regular eye exams and with making coaches and athletes aware of how important vision is to athletic performance. But regular eye-exams and the use of corrective lenses are just a beginning. By undertaking a simple visual training program, an athlete can improve his performance. That's because the eye, like the muscles in our bodies, can be strengthened to perform better with exercise.
