You may be suffering from a vision problem!

VISION is not only about how well you can see, it also involves visual skills that enable accurate, smooth, and precise eye movements for clear and comfortable vision— all necessary for many daily activities. These visual skills allow you to visualize, use your peripheral vision, switch visual focus between target points at varying distances, sustain focus on a moving target, and more.

10 VISUAL SKILLS ARE ESSENTIAL FOR OPTIMAL APORTS PERFORMANCE:

1. Dynamic visual acuity allows you to see moving objects clearly. This skill is essential for sports such as tennis, hockey, or soccer for the ability to clearly see the ball and other players while you and/or the other objects are moving quickly. 

2. Eye tracking allows you to keep your eyes on the ball at all times, without moving your head — enabling the ability to maintain better balance and a faster response to the situation. This skill is essential for any fast moving sport, or any type of game played with a ball. 

3. Eye focusing allows you to change focus quickly and accurately between two distances (near and far). This skill is essential for playing all types of sports that involve looking at the goal in the distance, while managing and moving around the opponents up-close. 

4. Peripheral vision allows you to see images and objects such as a teammate or opponent, “out of the corner of your eye” while fixating on a target. This skill is essential for all sports, for the ability to see what is going on all around you without having to turn your head. 

5. Depth perception allows you to quickly and accurately judge the speed and distance of objects. This skill is essential for estimating the location of the ball, teammates, opponents, boundary lines, goals, and other objects. 

6. Visual reaction time allows you to interpret and react to your teammate’s or opponent’s action, in an appropriately timed manner. This skill is essential for swinging a bat, catching a ball, or returning a tennis serve. 

7. Eye-hand coordination allows you to react to incoming visual information with accurate body movements. This skill is essential for sports because it enables accurate timing and control over body movements, such as when swinging a bat, taking a shot, and shooting hoops. 

8. Visual memory allows you to interpret and remember a fast-moving, multi-detailed image, including both people and objects. This skill is essential for sports, specifically for “being in the right place, at the right time” — enabling you to remember the location of your teammates and opponents as you try to remain in control of the ball. 

9. Visualization allows you to imagine yourself succeeding, while at the same time concentrating on something else. This skill is essential for sports as it enables you to visualize yourself shooting the ball into the hoop, or hitting the perfect serve, while concentrating on the ball— imagining the success of your action facilitates the actual success. 

10. Visual concentration allows you to maintain focus on an object or target, with the presence of distracting factors in your field of vision. This skill is essential for sports, specifically in situations when spectators are reacting or cheering around you, if an object is thrown on the court, or the timer on the scoreboard is approaching the end of the period. 

Reduced visual skills may lead to problems with them. Other words, eye problem will make it difficult to participate in sports activities.

Schedule a comprehensive eye examination to assess the integrity of your visual skills and determine if visual therapy will help boost your sports performance.
