PERFORMANCE
VISION
Not only athletes require optimal visual function. All of us, from drivers to those with low-vision can benefit from what we have learned from athletes.
- Sharpness, ability to see in low contrast, and seeing quickly are all important for everyone
- Hand-Eye Coordination is the basis for everything we do

THE
SCIENCE
“MY PASSION IS MOTIVATING
PEOPLE TO GET RESULTS”
The field of Sports and Performance Vision has grown at a logarithmic pace over the past several decades. Both the quality and the quantity of scientific research has allowed what used to be available only in scientific laboratories to now be available for everyone.
In order to understand Sports and Performance Vision, consider a pyramid, as in the sports vision pyramid to the left. Everyone’s goal is to achieve optimal performance at the top of the pyramid. To get there, though, one must build a stable and proportional pyramid from the bottom up. Starting with visual abilities that are related to each of our eyes, then building upon that for optimal use of the two eyes together, followed by the optimization of how the brain analyzes and uses the visual information and then how motor actions are initiated as a result of vision we have the best chance of reaching our goal of maximal ability, whether in sports or in life as a whole.
