Giving Athletes an Edge Over Their Competition

(520) 327-6211

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 β€” those that make the difference between good and extraordinary β€” 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. Fuhr is very patient and knowledgeable, he takes the time to explain everything. How refreshing... is that when most doctors just want to rush you through your appointment! The staff there are also pleasant, courteous, patient, knowledgeable and customer service oriented which is very rare these days. Thank you Alvernon Optical for several great experiences, I will be coming back!

I have been a patient of Dr Lewis for many years. His quality of care is excellent and I followed hi... m to Alvernon Optical after he recently left LensCrafters.

This is the eye care I’ve wanted for a long time. I’ve been to 3 different places in Tucson in t... he last 5 years but they do not compare to Alvernon Optical. Dr. Lewis really is the best! He takes his time with you and is very warm, which is hard to find.

Dr Cinalli is great. He answered all of my questions and was not dismissive of my concerns in any wa... y, as so many doctors are. I have a congenital eye problem and know what works best for me, as far as prescriptions and eyewear go. He didn't try to talk me into progressives (so tired of that) and gave me exactly what I needed in my prescriptions. The staff was friendly and efficient and weren't pushy with sales (so tired of that, too). I will definitely be going back and I'm sorry I didn't find Alvernon Optical years ago.
