competitive edge
With three different ways for you to train & perfect your visual skills, the Edge Trainer provides multiple solutions for training any & everyday of the week.
My plan
The MY PLAN option is the most common training option in the Vizual Edge system. MY PLAN is your customized training plan based on your latest Vizual Edge evaluation. MY PLAN is customized using the scores from the 6 exercises in a Vizual Edge evaluation. MY PLAN is recommended to be done 3x throughout the week.
open gym
The OPEN GYM training option is the way to train outside of your recommended training plan. OPEN GYM allows you to freely choose which exercise you want to do and with what options. In OPEN GYM, you choose the difficulty levels, times, and sizes of the different images within the Edge Trainer. OPEN GYM allows you to continue training, even after finishing your recommended training for the week.
game day
Have you ever gone into a game and felt a little sluggish or that it took a while to get going? The GAME DAY TRAINING option the ideal training option to do when you have a game, competition, or meet that day. GAME DAY TRAINING is a combination of the RECOGNITION and TRACKING exercises at different levels and variation. GAME DAY TRAINING is a great way to get your visual system firing up.
How vision training
works
Vision training is a program designed to develop—or improve—fundamental vision skills that are essential to sports vision performance. Vision training is used to improve one’s ability to make accurate eye movements.
Vision training is essentially a method of teaching the eyes and the brain how to perform a skill more efficiently. Sight is a measurement usually designated by 20/20, 20/40. Vision is how the brain uses sight.
Vision is something that can be learned and trained, but only with proper guidance. The visual system relies on past experiences in order to make judgments and anticipations for current and future experiences. Vision training needs to be consistent, customized and progressive, to ensure improvement. When these skills reach a high level of efficiency the visual system will continually perform at this level, increasing the speed and accuracy of one’s performance.
Vision training is teaching the visual system a more efficient way of operating. There is no visual age limit, efficient visual skills can be learned at any age. Vizual Edge works to help the athlete learn more efficient visual skills.
the core six
visual skills
As a result of intensive scientific research and decades of progressive development and case studies, the Edge Trainer is the leading solution for evaluating, training and perfecting the core six visual skills. Vizual Edge has found that athletes with better visual skills generally perform better in their sport.
Convergence
Convergence is the ability to focus on objects within close proximity and judge their movement.
- Ability to focus on the ball as it approaches you
- Connecting on a hit
Divergence
Divergence is the ability to locate objects in the distance, impacting an athlete’s ability to anticipate and react.
- Ability to locate the ball off a serve
- Ability to pinpoint a location on opponent's side
Depth Perception
Depth perception uses both eyes to locate objects in space to judge their distance, speed, and direction.
- Judge spin, speed and trajectory of a shot
- Locating the ball coming from a distance
Alignment
Proper alignment creates no difference between the perceived location and actual location of an object.
- Lining up position to hit the ball
- Crispness & decisiveness of movements
Recognition
Recognition is the ability to observe, process and recall a series of visual targets, and respond properly.
- Anticipation & reacting to the ball
- Overall decision-making & reading of the game
tracking
Tracking allows you to follow an object while continuously monitoring all other aspects of the game.
- Overall anticipation & reaction speeds
- Tracking the ball through the air

Typically, training procedures take ~15 minutes to complete in one sitting. Users have three types of training modes to choose from (My Plan, Open Gym, and Game Day).

It is essential that the athlete wear proper vision correction and have their eyesight checked/corrected before using the product. If you wear contacts, bifocals or readers and wear them while you compete, you should wear them underneath your Vizual Edge 3D glasses. On rare occasions, individuals may find the training easier without the need for their prescriptions.
That’s ok! You can still train and perfect your visual skills with the Edge Trainer. Please note that some/all of the 3D exercises may be unusable depending on the severity of your eye condition and lasik surgery.
Use the portion of the bifocal that you would normally use to when viewing the computer screen, specialty glasses that have been prescribed for computer viewing distance will work as well
This is likely because you have completed your 6-week My Plan and are due for a new evaluation! To confirm this, click on your STATS tab on the left, then 'Progress' and confirm that all 6 weeks contain green circles with checkmarks in them. If all 6 weeks are showing this, head to your dashboard and complete a new evaluation.
If you do not see all 6 weeks with green circles filled, then your subscription has likely expired. Please contact support@vizualedge.com for additional insight.

Typically, an athlete will notice an initial improvement in their ability to “see” the ball, puck, or field after 2 – 4 weeks of training*. However, every individual is different and depending on your starting place, it may take significantly longer to see results.

The glasses allow you to experience 3D perception and our 3D glasses are unique to our system. They are required for the Alignment, Depth Perception, Convergence and Divergence exercises in both Evaluation and Training. They are not used for the Contrast, Recognition, Tracking or Pursuits exercises. Regular 3D glasses are NOT compatible with the Vizual Edge program.
Glasses from other manufacturers may not be color compatible for vision training with the Edge Trainer. Polarized glasses cannot be used. To purchase a new pair of Vizual Edge 3D glasses, click here.
Yes. Our experiences with professional sports teams have shown that vision training is effective in and out of season. We strongly recommend utilizing Open Gym and Game Day modes to warm up before practicing/playing.
This type of vision training was originally developed for children with reading disorders. Since similar visual skills are used for both sports and reading, there is frequently a crossover benefit.
This type of training will not improve your visual acuity or remove the need for contact lenses or glasses.
Ideally, the Edge Trainer program is completed in a dim to normally-lit room with minimal glare on the screen. Do not complete this program in a pitch-black setting.
Glasses are typically shipped and sent out the day that they are ordered, either individually or part of a subscription plan. US-based shipments typically arrive in 3-5 business days, Mexico/Canada orders in 1-3 weeks and 2-4 weeks for everywhere else. Please note that orders placed over the weekend may take an extra day or two to be shipped out, as well as during US-based holidays.

The 3D glasses are required in order to complete the baseline test and if you attempt to start the test or a training exercises without the glasses, then your subscription timer will begin on that day.
