Giving Athletes an Edge Over Their Competition

(419) 227-2020

Ready to Get Your Vision Into Shape?

It takes way more than strength and speed to be at the top of your game.

The skills required by an athlete — those that make the difference between good and extraordinary — depend on vision skills which can be perfected.

Baseball, tennis and football are examples of sports games that require the skills and abilities to keep your eyes focused on the ball.

Football receivers and quarterbacks need a high level of tracking and depth perception to complete a pass, as well as high peripheral vision awareness.

Sports vision training can enhance the communication between your eyes, brain and body, to help you excel in your sport and turn your vision into an invaluable asset on the court or field.

4 Ways Sports Vision Training Can Give You a Competitive Edge

  • Builds visual skills

    Sports vision training strengthens essential visual skills, such as: 

    • Hand-eye coordination
    • Peripheral vision
    • Reaction time
    • Visual memory
    • Depth-perception
  • Custom-designed program

    Our eye care professionals will consult with you and create a program designed according to your strengths, weaknesses, and athletic goals. This therapy consists of weekly in-office appointments and assigned daily exercises.

  • Fits your training schedule

    Weekly appointments and daily exercises can easily conform to your workout routine. With just 20 minutes a day, you may begin to see improvement in your performance.

    Sports vision therapy is a scientifically-proven method of enhancing athletic performance. The program is developed by optometrists with extensive training in monitoring eye health and building visual skills.

Sports vision training: the ultimate game changer


Sport Vision FAQs

I have 20/20 vision. Why should I do sports vision training?

Thinking that 20/20 vision is the equivalent of perfect vision is a common misconception. Visual acuity and visual skills are two separate things. Visual acuity tests measure how well you can read letters from a chart, but it can’t predict how well you’ll see the ball or how quickly you’ll react to visual stimuli. It's common for people with 20/20 vision to lack the visual skills needed to truly excel in their sport.

What does sports vision training involve?

The sports vision specialist will consult with you, administer eye tests, and provide you with a custom-designed treatment program best suited for your needs and aspirations. During the weekly in-office sessions, the specialist will assign home exercises, measure your progress, and adjust the program as needed.

What tests do I need for sports vision?

During the initial consultation, a sports vision specialist will give you an eye exam to determine your eye health and visual skills. The eye exam may test the following: 

  • Visual acuity
  • Contrast sensitivity
  • Eye tracking
  • Focus 
  • Depth perception

I asked for reviews on Facebook for this location and most of my friends are on Facebook did not giv... e high recommendations. I was a little skeptical when I went today, but I found nothing wrong with the office or the doctor. I feel like the doctor did great with my four year-old son. My son was hyper. He didn’t understand all the doctors directions and he still did really well with him played games with him and made it a good experience for me. I have no complaints. This is the second doctor I went to and honestly, I had a better experience here than our last one.

Took my 15 mth old medical foster child for an appointment and Brandi made his needs a priority!! Br... andi is the reason he was scheduled here and will return for his future needs! Dr. Bankey was great with him and was really patient while trying to get the information for diagnosis, I would recommend her for anyone's Littles. Then there was Lindsay she was such a help with the little guy, he does not do well with new places or people. See you in a few months Ladies!!

Update, Brandy did awesome today. Answered all my questions and was able to help me understand some ... things that I was not understanding before my visit. The staff helped me with sunglasses and contacts. They had all the patients in the world To work with me and my eyelashes being in the way!!! Such an amqzing staff they have here. From the front desk staff to the nurse inside the room with the doctor to picking out glasses and contacts.and then trying contacts in. The doctor answered all of my questions and when I said I still don’t understand what the doctor was saying he slowed himself down and explained it to me. My eyes are dilated so I’m sorry if I misspelled the word or something does not make sense I really cannot see my phone Great Doctors, Sarah and Brandy the front desk clerks are extremely knowledgeable and helpful, and the nursing staff is always friendly and explained all my questions.
