Giving Athletes an Edge Over Their Competition

Ready to Get Your Vision Into Shape?

It takes way more than strength and speed to be at the top of your game.

The skills required by an athlete — those that make the difference between good and extraordinary — depend on vision skills which can be perfected.

Baseball, tennis and football are examples of sports games that require the skills and abilities to keep your eyes focused on the ball.

Football receivers and quarterbacks need a high level of tracking and depth perception to complete a pass, as well as high peripheral vision awareness.

Sports vision training can enhance the communication between your eyes, brain and body, to help you excel in your sport and turn your vision into an invaluable asset on the court or field.

Sport Vision FAQs

I have 20/20 vision. Why should I do sports vision training?

Thinking that 20/20 vision is the equivalent of perfect vision is a common misconception. Visual acuity and visual skills are two separate things. Visual acuity tests measure how well you can read letters from a chart, but it can’t predict how well you’ll see the ball or how quickly you’ll react to visual stimuli. It's common for people with 20/20 vision to lack the visual skills needed to truly excel in their sport.

What does sports vision training involve?

The sports vision specialist will consult with you, administer eye tests, and provide you with a custom-designed treatment program best suited for your needs and aspirations. During the weekly in-office sessions, the specialist will assign home exercises, measure your progress, and adjust the program as needed.

What tests do I need for sports vision?

During the initial consultation, a sports vision specialist will give you an eye exam to determine your eye health and visual skills. The eye exam may test the following: 

  • Visual acuity
  • Contrast sensitivity
  • Eye tracking
  • Focus 
  • Depth perception

Dr. D and his staff were so kind and patient with me! I made an appt online and was able to be seen ... the same day. They gave me options for my glasses and special contacts if I wanted them and helped me get an exam done so I can keep my drivers license, I also brought my son and they were so kind to him and even went over things I can do in case he ends up with the condition I have. Overall a great experience! I’m excited to receive my glasses 🙂

My wife & I have both been here and love the people here! Everyone is so friendly, you always feel... welcome. Just a few days ago I had an eye injury and went to Carenow and then on to an emergency room. They said I should also go to an eye doctor and have him/ her look at it. I was thinking why a 3rd doctor, I just want to go home and rest (soooo much pain). I am soooo glad I went to The Great Eye Doctor. Dr. DeJernett looked at and into my eye and ran a few tests and gave me far more information than the Carenow and the emergency room put together, and at a much lower cost! He was patient and gentle (my eye was so tender, it hurt just to barely touch it). I highly recommend this office to others!

(Translated by Google) I'm going to share my experience. I speak Spanish, and they were super nice t... o me. The doctor made an effort to communicate with me even though I didn't speak Spanish. The girls were super friendly. I truly recommend this place 100%. (Original) Voy hablar de mi experiencia. Hablo español y ellos fueron súper amables conmigo, el doctor se esforzó para comunicarse conmigo a pesar que no hablaba español, las muchachas súper amables. De verdad recomiendo este lugar 100%
