I Improved My Golf Vision
Tony Serpico, O.D.
Optometrist and Contact Lens Specialist
My name is Tony Serpico. I am an golfer with a 6 handicap, although I wasn't always a 6 handicap.
A couple of years ago, I realized that I wasn't able to take my game to the next level. I had no problem with strength and ball striking. However, I could not improve my short game, even with hours of practice. That is when I found Vizual Edge sports training for my eyes.
After an off-season of visual training on my computer, along with my normal strength training, I noticed immediate results. Mostly in judging distance from that tough 80 yards and in range as well as a better feel for those long pops, virtually eliminating 3 putts. I also have more consistency in my game which, as all golfers know, leads to a lower score.
If you want to take that double digit handicap to a single digit, then make Vizual Edge part of your practice routine.

Fundamental Elements of Vision Training

stack.com (9/25/2012)
Every day, I see first-hand how improved vision significantly improves the skills of athletes. For example, I worked with a pro golfer who was having difficulty looking at the hole, then the ball, then the hole again. It seemed to change position. Through exercises to address her putting alignment confusion, she improved her game considerably. A famous tennis star described his fast racket head speed and quick visual reaction time as key elements to his success.
The professional athletes I see in my practice depend on being physically fit to earn a living. It's my belief that the health of their eyes requires as much attention as their pitching arm or their Achilles tendon. In addition to vision training exercises, it's imperative to take care of your eyes with proper nutrition, like you do for the rest of your body.

The former world number one, who has slipped to 57th in the rankings after struggling for form for much of last year, says his putting has improved significantly since he began working with two vision specialists last week.
However, he is delighted he decided to consult with Dr Sherylle Calder, an eye specialist who helped the Springbok, All Black and England ruby union teams enhance their eye-hand co-ordination, concentration and other visual performance skills.

Line between success and failure on greens gets blurry with age
by: Diane Pucin
Los Angeles Times (1/25/2012)
David Kirschen, an optometrist with an expertise in sports and a member of the faculty at UCLA, said that what many golfers don't understand is how important vision is to putting well. And vision tends to worsen with age. Kirschen listed acuity — how sharply one sees detail at a distance — as the first component in helping a putter. He also said depth perception and focus matter.

Vision training for athletes evolved from reading therapies developed decades ago to help children
A Little Flabby Around the Eyeballs
by: GRETCHEN REYNOLDS
New York Times (2/5/2006)
Vision training for athletes evolved from reading therapies developed decades ago to help children with learning disabilities and people with amblyopia ("lazy eye") concentrate and follow lines of text. Unlike exercises designed to strengthen eye muscles, reading therapy works to improve the eye-brain connection. Sports vision therapy takes it one step further. "It's about eye-hand-foot-body-brain coordination," says Dr. Barry Seiller, an ophthalmologist who is Brett Basanez's vision specialist and the director of the Visual Fitness Institute in Vernon Hills, Ill. "Maybe you foul off the ball a lot, or you have all the technical skills but somehow just can't put it together. You go into slumps. You fail in the clutch. All of that, to us, screams 'visual problems."'
