Sports Vision Training
We know that athletes spend countless hours working on strength and conditioning to build up their muscles to help them run faster, jump higher and excel at their sport. But an athlete’s VISION is one area that often goes over looked. Sports Vision Training helps athletes strengthen the connection between the eyes, the brain, and the rest of the body. Scientific research shows that visual skills such as reaction time, hand-eye coordination, peripheral vision, depth perception, and visual processing can indeed be sharpened and improved with the proper training.Introducing the Senaptec Sensory Station

Success Starts off the Field
Nearly 90 million Americans actively participate in sports. The majority, however, do not see a visual specialist. Sports of all levels require optimal vision and athletes, especially young ones, require regular vision evaluations and testing to both maintain their health and optimize their performance. Athletes that don’t care for their vision give opponents an edge on the field and open themselves up to risks that can severely affect their playing careers and life off the court. If you’re an athlete or the parent of one, a sports vision training assessment from Elite Eyecare and the Senaptec Sensory Station will give you the edge you need both on the court and off. By utilizing the world’s most advanced visual training system, you can get the edge you need in just 25 minutes. It all starts with a phone call to our Abilene offices today.Do you ever wonder how a goalie deflects a puck traveling 100 MPH or how a center fielder can spot a miniature ball in the sun and perfectly time his dive so it lands in his glove? Perfect vision.
