Sports Vision

Seeing beyond 20/20.  Have you ever wanted to improve your batting average?  Lower your golf score?  Improve your save percentage, or just play your favourite sport better.

Sports Vision is the practice of examining and managing the visual needs of a patient. 

 

It includes: 

  • Providing appropriate correction 

  • Assessment and remediation of functional vision inefficiencies

  • Performance enhancing vision training

 

One of our main goals in sports vision is to slow the game around you by speeding up your visual processing time.  

  • Vision provides the athlete information about where and when to perform

  • where to go, how to react, things that cannot be trained by lifting weights at the gym.

  • 80% of information we get around us is from the eyes (visual).   

 

Starting with a vision performance evaluation we then go on to create an individual vision performance enhancing plans focusing on things such as Eye-Hand coordination,

Depth Perception, eye movements, decision making, peripheral vision and eye body awareness.   We have worked with many athletes across many sports from Hockey, baseball, Football, golf to Olympic Skeet Shooting and high jump.  

​​

  • Did you Know?  A major league batter has approximately 400 ms between the release of the pitch and the time the ball arrives at the plate

  • Swing takes approximately 150 ms to complete the batter has approximately 250 ms to

  • process the visual information from the pitch the determine the appropriate response.

  • We focus on improving that visual information processing speed.

45 mins of sports vision training includes

​

  • Eye-hand coordination training

  • Use of the fitlights

Your choice of:

  • Peripheral vision awareness training (PVA) - Locate the ball or puck better especially when it’s not directly in front of you. PVA training has also shown to reduce the incidence of blindside hits and concussions. 

  • Motor reflex training (MRT)- how fast is your reaction time?  With MRT training we can improve your ability to react faster in a sports environment, improving you save %, batting average, catching, goal scoring and overall sports performance

  • Eye focusing and eye teaming training – follow the puck or ball better as it comes at you from a distance, as your eyes fatigue your eye focus and teaming tends to breakdown.  Improve your eye muscle stamina and see the results later in games.

  • Eye tracking training- You have heard the cliché keep your eye on the ball or the puck, with eye tracking activities we focus in on that and improve your oculomotor system so that you can track an object smoothly and effectively. 

  • Sports specific eye-hand coordination/balance activities- Balance and coordinating is essential in all sports and these activities will improve your eye hand coordination with distractions all while making sure your balance is optimal.
