Vision and Sport PerformanceIt's better to see betterWhen it comes to sports activities, it is important to see well in order to obtain the best results, for both competitive and non-competitive activities. Good vision skills are necessary for most sports. 
Do not underrate a visual defect even if you think it is of little importance. The health of your eyes will suffer and as a consequence, your performance will be affected. Regular eye check ups and wearing the right vision correction is key.

Dynamic VisionThe ability to see moving objects clearly. A goalkeeper can see a ball coming at high speed towards him as clearly as a static ball, as if time had stopped at that moment. 
Vision trackingThe ability to track a moving object, no matter how fast it is moving. The difference from "dynamic vision" is that vision tracking enables you to follow the tracks of moving objects. 
Vision focusingThe ability to change focus quickly and accurately between objects at different distances. A hurdler needs to be able to see all 11 hurdles at different distances clearly and accurately. 
Peripheral visionThe ability to see and observe out of "the corner of your eye", when looking at a fixed object. In team sports like basketball or volleyball, a player must be able to see his team member passing him the ball even when holding the gaze of an opponent right in front of him. 
Eye coordinationThe ability to retain eye coordination during high-speed activities or while under high physiological pressure. 
Depth PerceptionThe ability to judge the distance and speed of objects quickly and accurately. A diver needs to judge the distance from the water surface accurately to be able to complete the diving motions correctly. 
With the help of advanced vision testing equipment, eye care professionals can prepare detailed assessments of vision skills for professional and amateur athletes engaging in different sports. On that basis, athletes can engage in an individual sport vision training program.
