Keep Your Eyes on the Ball with Sports Vision Training

Sports vision training is focused, measurable, and tailored to how your eyes, brain, and body work together in motion.

What Is Sports Vision Therapy and How Does it Work?

Sports Vision Training (SVT) improves the speed and efficiency with which your brain processes what your eyes see and how that information guides your reactions. It works like "physical therapy for the eyes and brain," focusing on improving the communication between the visual system and the motor system.

Unlike standard corrective lenses that fix clarity (eyesight), SVT uses repetitive, specialized exercises—such as tracking moving targets, focusing under strobe lights, or utilizing balance boards—to retrain the brain to process visual information more rapidly and accurately.

Using advanced technology like the Senaptec Sensory Station (exclusive to EyeZone Midtown in the Reno area), our specialized SVT program, Eye Sport, assesses and trains essential visual performance areas such as:

  • Eye-hand coordination

  • Depth perception

  • Peripheral awareness

  • Dynamic visual acuity

  • Visual reaction time

  • Decision-making under pressure

 

Who Is Eye Sport For?

Our program is built for athletes across all ages and levels, with training tailored by sport, position, and performance goals.

Sports Vision Training for Kids, Teens & College Athletes

For many families, performance gaps aren’t because of a lack of effort or coaching; they’re rooted in visual processing. Eye Sport helps answer questions like:

What Are the Best Exercises to Treat Peripheral Vision?

While you cannot "grow" more retina, you can train your brain to better process the information coming from your periphery. Common exercises include:

The Near-Far Shift: 

 Hold a pen at arm's length and focus on it while naming objects you can see in the background and sides without moving your eyes.

 

The Wall Clock Drill:

Face a wall and pick a central point. While keeping your gaze fixed on that point, try to identify "numbers" or specific sticky notes placed in a wide circle around you using only your side vision.

Ball Toss with Distraction:

Play catch with a partner while they hold up fingers or cards to your side; try to call out the numbers without looking away from the ball.

Brock String: 

Used in vision therapy to improve how the eyes work together, which helps stabilize the entire visual field.

Is Sports Vision Training Only for Competitive Athletes?

Sports vision training is for all ages and skill levels, from little league baseball players, to competitive athletes in the NBA, NHL, NFL, and beyond.

  • You don’t have to be a pro athlete to want better performance.

  • If you’re a golfer, skier, pickleball player, or tennis enthusiast, Eye Sport can help you:

  • Stay sharp as reflexes naturally change with age

  • Improve timing and coordination

  • Support precision and longevity in your game

  • Stay competitive, not just fit

Our program is practical and works well for busy adults. Many complete their training in just a few sessions and feel the difference on the course, court, or slopes.
