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 doctor 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 doctor 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 doctor 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

2 weeks ago I posted a review that was unfavorable about the staff at Eyes on Missouri. I had a lot ... of trouble with my new glasses. I went in several times for adjustments that didn't help. I was frustrated, and decided that the new glasses would just be put in a drawer. I received a very nice call from front desk staff and went back in for another try. Paige spent time with the adjustment and she got it right! Thank you to the staff for your follow up! I give you 5 stars now!

Outstanding customer service! Dr. Hedgpath provided a thorough eye exam and clearly explained everyt... hing about my vision. The front desk staff, along with Paige and Hayley, were exceptionally helpful in selecting eyeglasses, explaining my insurance benefits, and adjusting my frames. I deeply appreciated the friendly atmosphere and how comfortable everyone made me feel. They answered all my questions and ensured I fully understood my prescription. The frame selection was excellent, with options that suited my style and budget. Overall, it was a smooth, pleasant experience from start to finish, and I highly recommend Dr. Hedgpath and her team for quality eye care and exceptional service.

I love eyes on Missouri!! it is one of my favorite places to get eye glasses. the eye doctor does ... an outstanding job examining my eyes!! they have a huge selection or variety of glasses to choose from with various brand names like Ray Ban, Nike, Oakley, and many more. the ease of scheduling an appointment is very easy. and their staff and professionals are very kind and courteous and respectful. their eye glasses are very excellent and high quality!! they accept most insurances, but you should check with them first before you purchase any glasses so you know what you have to pay out of your own pocket and get everything squared away. Eyes on Missouri is definitely one of the best places to get eye glasses that suite your needs in Jefferson City, Missouri!!
