Sports Vision

For an athlete, vision plays as much of a critical role as strength and speed. In sports vision, eye care specialists work to improve an athlete’s eyesight, enhancing the athlete’s performance. At Eye 1st Vision Center in Sandy Springs, we specialize in providing sports-based optometry services.

Benefits of Sports Vision

Enhancing your eye's performance will help you with several athletic tasks, including:

  • Visual acuity. Athletes typically need to have 20/20 vision.
  • Hand-eye coordination.
  • Depth perception, especially when looking at distant objects.
  • Focusing ability, particularly concerning eye movement control.
  • Peripheral vision, or the ability to see things off to the side.
  • Spatial skills and visual memory.

When you visit a center for sports vision therapy, you'll likely be discussing these areas in eye care. If there's a particular area you want to improve upon, be sure to bring this up with the optometrist or eye doctor; your treatment plan should revolve around your specific needs as an athlete. 

Sports Vision Services

Our eye specialist will be prescribing the necessary tools or medications needed to help you see improvements in your athletic performance. Some athletes wear special eyeglasses, while others wear contact lenses that are specially designed for sports. Athletes may be given medication and supplements to improve and maintain eye health. At Eye 1st Vision Center, we provide comprehensive exams, vision testing, corrective lenses, eyewear, and LASIK surgery to our clientele. Our team is capable of treating common problems found in sports performance, from an inability to focus to difficulty seeing distant objects. 

What to Expect During a Sports Vision Visit

During a sports vision session, the athlete can expect to undergo vision testing. The optometrist will need to identify areas of weakness, and this is done by evaluating different areas such as visual acuity and depth perception. Once an issue is identified, the specialist can recommend a course of action to address the issue.
