Sports Vision

If you play amateur sports or aspire to join a professional sports team, you’re well aware of the importance of good vision. Sports vision refers to the level of visual acuity sports players need to ace their game. At Highlands Optometry in Wise Bristol, we offer sports vision training to help take your visual skills to the next level. Working with our Wise Bristol optometry specialist is key to getting the quality eye care services you need to enhance your sight.

Importance of Sports Vision

Sports play is competitive at every level. Good eyesight can give you an edge over your competition. Vision affects numerous aspects of sports play, including hand-to-eye coordination and your ability to distinguish speed, distance, and color. Poor eye teaming, tracking, or processing skills can hinder you from playing your best.

When it comes to athletic performance, ordinary vision just won’t cut it. For the extraordinary vision that will make a big difference in your game, talk to our optometry specialist about sports vision training.

We’ll work with you to enhance the specific skills you need to ace your game.

Tips for Keeping Your Eyes Healthy

Routine eye care can enhance your vision for years to come. These tips can also be helpful in keeping your eyes safe and healthy.

​​​​​​​Eat Healthily. A healthy diet that includes green leafy vegetables, fish, eggs, nuts beans, citrus fruits, and other healthy foods can promote good eye health and enhance your sight.

Stop Smoking. Smoking increases your risk of developing cataracts, macular degeneration, and other medical issues that can impair your sight.

Wear Quality Sunglasses. Quality sunglasses will protect your eyes against overexposure to UV rays, which can lead to vision problems.

Use Safety Eyewear. Protect your eyes from injuries with safety eyewear when playing sports or working on hazardous materials at home or on the job.

Limit Computer Use. Working on a computer all day can strain your eyes, leading to headaches, blurred vision, and dry eye. If you must use a computer for your job, take frequent breaks and work with adequate lighting to protect your eyes.
