VISION IS MORE THAN 20/20

What exactly is vision?

• Visual clarity: Good vision starts with clear data from the eyes.

• Dynamic Acuity: Visual clarity while in motion or while tracking a moving target.

• Contrast Sensitivity: Critical for recognizing objects and faces.

• Depth Perception: Judging depth assists in navigation, accurate timing, and proper anticipation for potential collision.

• Near-Far Quickness: Changing focus quickly is important for movement, spatial judgment, and making timely decisions.

• Perception Span: Perceiving and retaining a broad range of visual information helps make quick and accurate decisions.

• Multiple Object Tracking: Sensing the movement of multiple objects is crucial for spatial awareness and proper movement.

• Reaction Time: Reacting quickly to a visual input is crucial to success in all areas of life.

• Target Capture: Fast coordination between peripheral and central vision ensure you observe important information.

• Eye-Hand Coordination: Moving hands quickly and accurately based on visual input is fundamental in all sports.

• Go or No Go: Inhibiting motion in response to new information protects from mistakes and potential injury.

• Eye Tracking: Moving eyes quickly and accurately with change in direction of a target such as a ball or opponent.

"The public doesn’t realize that you need 17 visual skills to succeed in reading, learning, sports, and in life. Seeing ‘20/20’ is just one of those visual skills."

- Larry Fitzgerald
