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 — those that make the difference between good and extraordinary — 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

I just started going to Fishbaugh’s a year ago and have been treated very well. I have been in and... out of many eye doctor’s offices and have seen many eye care providers during my life due to my high prescription. However, I see myself continuing to stay and get treated at Fishbaugh’s. From my experience the doctors here also are very well trained in their practice and the hold their practice and care to the highest priority. The staff is very friendly and quick to making sure the needs of the patient are taken care of. Highly recommend going to Fishbaugh Family Eye care to take care of your vision.

I have been coming to this eyecare facility for several years. Recently I had an emergent eye issue... that was incredibly stressful, they were able to work me in the same day with no question. The staff and providers are incredibly kind and knowledgeable. I have never had a more comprehensive eye exam, and would not hesitate to recommend their office for any and all eyecare needs.

The doctor and staff are very compassionate and caring. They do everything they can to accommodate a... patient's schedule. They are very professional and knowledgeable. They take time to explain things thoroughly. The facility is very up-to-date, modern and clean. It is well worth the drive from St Mary's.

The experience every time I am at Fishbaugh Eye Care is pleasant. They make it a personal experience... . They never have a wait and they personally have staff to help you through every step by step process of picking out glasses, etc. Now the Doctors, Dr. Fishbaugh is the best eye doctor I have ever been to. He is thorough, works great with adults and children and his doctors that work with him are also great (which always makes me nervous if you can't see your main doctor, but they are great too). If you want quality eye care and the comfort of knowing that the doctor is actually caring about you, go to Fishbaugh Eye Care Also, the drive is worth it even if you aren't in St. Henry IMO
