Having 20/20 vision does not mean a child has good visual skills for
sports competition. It simply means they can stand still and
see an object 20 feet away relatively clear. It does not help them see where a
ball is in space, how fast it is traveling, or whether or not it is changing
direction. It won’t help them hit a pitch, catch a pass, or move their feet to
the right place.
Parents who insist
that a child simply isn’t good at sports may be ignoring a potential vision
problem. A child’s sports performance is a good indicator of his
vision health.
Vision problems
that can influence sports performance include focusing troubles,
convergence deficiencies, lazy eye, misaligned eyes, suppressed vision, poor
eye teamwork, vision field loss including side vision or depth perception,
near- and far-sightedness, as well as a number of other issues.
