Sports Vision :

At 'Stephen Wilcox Optometrists' we take the relationship between sports performance and eyesight very seriously. So much so that we run dedicated Sports Vision clinics both at the practice and on site at sports clubs.
These clinics are designed to optimise vision in the relationship of eye/body co-ordination and involve the use of specialist equipment, which we have imported from the United States.
Not only will we measure your visual skills but we will advise on how to optimise safe and efficient vision to enhance your overall sporting performance.
The battery of tests we run include - 
Static Visual Activity - 'Keenness' of vision
Dynamic Visual Activity - Vision 'on the move'
Eye Dominance - Which is your preferential eye?
Ability to see 3D - Measurement of ability and speed to judge distance
Focusing + Eye Movement Skills
Eye - Hand and foot co-ordination response times
Glare Recovery - How able your eyes are to adapt to quickly changing light conditions
Visualisation - Mapping out + anticipating tactics in your 'minds eye'
