An athletes’ vision can be taken for granted. If someone’s a good athlete, it’s assumed they must have good vision because they play so well, but it’s not always the case. Remember Bryce Harper from Las Vegas, who plays for the Washington Nationals? When he saw the team optometrist for the first time, the optometrist found his vision to be very blurry and he was in significant need of prescription lenses.
He was fitted with contact lenses which improved his vision and also contributed to improving his batting average. If you’re an athlete, we’ll evaluate the visual skills you need as part of our comprehensive eye exam: visual acuity, tracking, focusing and depth perception. Be sure to make an appointment for an annual eye exam (702-734-9600) so we can give you the clear vision you need to maximize your performance.
