What is Visual/Perceptual Training?
Athletes all over Miami are practicing and training to make this season their best yet. While hitting the gym or practice field are common places to hone your skill, there’s one critical area that’s often overlooked – your vision.
Eighty percent of all sensory information used to decide on a motor response comes in through our eyes. In fact, our eyes are actually an extension of our brains. On every play in every sport there needs to be: Vision –> Cognition –> Action.
We are the only optometry-directed sports vision training program in Miami. With backgrounds in optometry, vision science, kinesioloy and psychology, we know vision and how it relates to the mind and body.
Vision is the link between the sensory and motor systems, and it’s critical for athletes who are at the top of their game. The skills we can assess and train are:
- Visual Acutiy
- Contrast Sensitivity
- Eye-Hand Coordination
- Eye Tracking
- Eye Focusing
- Peripheral Awareness
- Cognitive Function
- Depth Perception
- Spatial Awareness
- Visual Reaction Time
