Sport Vision
Visualize this
Think the pros have an edge? You're right. It's called sports vision, and it can help you get the visual skills you need to play hard-- and win. Ask your doctor how you can optimize these three key areas:
Contrast Sensitivity lets you see details like the stitches on a baseball
Dynamic Visual Acuity keeps your vision as clear when you're running as when you're standing
Focus Flexibility keeps a ball in sharp focus as it moves toward or away from you
Make it work for you
Every sport has unique demands: depth perception, peripheral vision, eye-hand coordination. And every sport poses unique challenges: glare, wind, haze, and close encounters with moving objects. To win, you need to conquer them all. Discover which visual skills are especially important to your sport. And why.
What about contact lenses?
Contact lenses are ideal for athletes. They offer a more natural vision correction option than glasses. Contact lenses can increase peripheral vision. You can wear protective eyewear over them-- such as goggles or sunglasses. And you can quit worrying about broken frames or lenses. Plus, contact lenses don't fog up, slide down, or fall off. That adds up to better vision when it counts most.
What kind of lenses should I try?
Most athletes say that frequent replacement contact lenses are the way to go. You can replace them daily, bi-weekly, or monthly-- whichever schedule works for you. More comfortable. Less maintenance. The bottom line: You see better.
