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 doctor 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 doctor 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 doctor 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

I received vision therapy here at Suburban eye care. My vision was good, but my visual processing w... as among the worst cases. I had trouble driving, especially at night among other symptoms. (Binocular Vision disorder and eye turn). I received weekly therapy and did eye exercises daily. I improved dramatically. I recommend Suburban EyeCare for vision therapy. If you do the exercises you can improve you visual processing. I don't fear falling and I can drive at night now among other results.

I had a great experience working with Suburban Eye care and Amanda in VT. Before starting eye therap... y, I had been struggling for a long time with a variety of issues, including dry eyes and headaches, all of which started after I had LASIK surgery. I saw multiple specialists, but nothing seemed to help. After starting eye therapy, the results were truly transformative. One of the biggest changes for me has been my dry eyes. I used to have to use eye drops every 30 minutes, but because of the eye therapy, I haven’t needed to use them at all! The reduction in my headaches has been another huge improvement. I’m also amazed at how much my visual memory has improved, which I never expected to be related to my vision issues. The staff at this center is knowledgeable and supportive throughout the entire process. They do a great job at helping you understand the “why” behind the exercises and tailor activities to meet you where you’re at to ultimately reach your goals. I’m grateful for the progress I’ve made and would highly recommend this therapy to anyone struggling with similar issues.

High quality, thorough eye exams. Dr. Smith is excellent. Staff are excellent. Very accommodatin... g appointments. They've helped me with exams, glasses and occasional eye pain issues caused by foreign objects. I read another comment you can't get exams here and then take the script to Costco. I've done that, no problem. They were perfectly ok with that. One of a few places that offered vision therapy if you need that.

This was my first time here. Needed new prescription glasses. The whole staff were amazingly friend... ly and courteous. I saw Dr Yousif, very professional and knowledgeable. Definitely recommend this facility. Great prices for eyeglasses and contacts.

I see Dr. Arnold in this office. He's super patient and very knowledgeable, as is everyone I've inte... racted with here. Everyone is kind and willing to help. Dr. Arnold has also gone above and beyond, as far as I'm concerned. I was overthinking the eye exam (which is better, 1 or 2) and was struggling to get the proper prescription. Dr. Arnold helped by asking new questions and trying new methods to help in ways that worked better for my brain. I definitely appreciate all he has done, as well as all the staff, for making going to Suburban Eye Care a great experience.

We are so happy we decided to enroll our daughter in vision therapy. Before starting the program, s... he struggled with reading. Even with support from her teachers and school interventionist, her fluency remained slow. Since completing the program, we've seen tremendous improvement in her test scores, reading level, and—most importantly—her confidence. The therapy addressed not only eye tracking but also other essential skills that have helped her feel more successful in school. I highly recommend this program to any parent, and I especially recommend Suburban Eye Care. The team was responsive to all of my emails, questions, and concerns throughout the process. The program itself was engaging and hands-on, and the staff made it truly enjoyable. My daughter always looked forward to her sessions and never wanted to leave—they made learning fun! We are forever grateful for the growth and success our daughter has experienced.
