Giving Athletes an Edge Over Their Competition

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

Dr.Tetrault at the Alvernon Optical Clinic on North Campbell was wonderful. I went there to get my ... eyes checked because I was experiencing an increase in blurry vision. He told me that I didn't need new glasses as the RX of my current glasses was almost identical to what I would need. He told me the reason for the increase in blurred vision was the result of my cataracts which I knew that I had but I hadn't realized that they had gotten bad enough to require surgery. Dr. Tetrault referred me to an eye surgeon. I so appreciated his frank and honest evaluation of my vision issue.

I recently visited Alvernon Optical on Campbell, and I must say, it was an exceptional experience. A... s someone who has worn glasses almost my whole life, I’m well-acquainted with the routine of eye exams, choosing frames, and the usual hassles involved. However, the staff at Alvernon Optical were absolutely phenomenal, making this visit stand out. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted warmly and felt at ease. The team was professional, friendly, and attentive. The doctor who conducted my eye exam was kind and courteous, taking the time to explain everything thoroughly and ensuring I understood each step of the process. Choosing frames was also a breeze, thanks to the knowledgeable staff who guided me through their selection with patience and expertise. They made sure I found the perfect pair that suited both my style and prescription needs. Overall, Alvernon Optical provided a top-notch experience that went above and beyond my expectations. I highly recommend them to anyone in need of eye care services.

The staff are absolutely amazing. Cecilia, Tracy, and the wonderful tech who did the pre-exam testin... g (I really wish I could remember her name) are top notch. Dr. Tetrault has decades of experience, and I appreciate the ease with which he completed the exam. This was a very positive experience every step of the process, from scheduling to wait times (minimal if any). Great communication and great staff make this a go-to not only for me, but now for family members as well.

Dr. Tetrault took his time with me and answered all my questions. He was thorough and friendly. The ... staff were kind and professional. I did not experience any high pressure sales. The optician took her time with me and allowed ME to make the choices without any pressure. I was so pleased, I had my wife go to the location on Campbell Ave., and she was pleased as well.
