Vision correction treatment cultivates sports stars in Laguna

If you are among the 25 percent of Americans who do not require vision correction, you may take great eyesight for granted. A growing segment of the remaining population in the Laguna area is discovering the freedom of clear vision 24/7/365. They are getting their game on with safe, effective LASIK vision correction treatment.

Play and perform

Can you think of a sport or physical recreation that does not require some level of visual sharpness?

• Dynamic acuity is the ability to see items when either you or the object is moving quickly – vital for tennis, hockey, soccer, and racquetball.
• Visual concentration, the capacity to screen out peripheral distractions, gives you a terrific short game in golf, and lets you snag a grounder in softball.
• Eye tracking helps you maintain balance and react quickly, essential in basketball and contact sports like kickboxing.
• Eye/hand/body coordination is using visual input to make your muscles and body parts do what you want them to do, with proper timing.
• Visual memory puts the athlete with good vision in the right place at the right time. It is the capacity to see and process a complex moving picture of the playing field.
• Peripheral vision lets a soccer player see what is going on all around, without losing focus by turning the head.
• Visual reaction time is the difference between a strike, a weak foul ball, and a powerful line drive.
• Depth perception enables you to judge the distance between yourself, the ball, opponents, and boundary lines. Tennis players rely on it for every serve and return.
