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.
