Research shows that vision and sporting performance are directly related.
What is Sportsvision?
Sportsvision describes all the aspects of vision required in sport. It is much more complex that simply recording how well you can read a test chart, or see straight ahead.
The Sportsvision assessment records:
· 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, important for 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?
Description
Treatment:
The Sportsvision treatment is individually tailored to the sportsperson’s requirements. Consultation with the individual or coach will help identify specific areas requiring improvement.
Treatment Options include:
· Improving vision restoring eye dominance with glasses or contact lenses.
· Improving timing and accuracy with he aid of an eye exercise programme
· Minimising glare and improving contrast with specially prescribed tints.
How to book an appointment?:
We provide group assessments at your club. Ideally groups of ten at a time. Allow 30 min, per person. Further testing may be required. This can be arranged at a time to suit the individual at a later date.
