Getting Started

Getting started is easy! Once you've created your account, log in to the Edge Trainer using a computer or tablet. Follow the instructions to set up and calibrate your device, then complete your initial Edge Test to establish your baseline Edge Score.
Your results will generate a personalized six-week training plan designed around your visual and cognitive strengths and areas for improvement.
All you need is a computer or tablet, a reliable internet connection, and Vizual Edge 3D glasses. No expensive equipment or VR headset is required!
Our specialized 3D glasses are needed for certain assessment and training exercises. While waiting for your glasses to arrive, you can explore the non-3D exercises available in Open Gym.
Please note that Vizual Edge is not compatible with smartphones.
Before beginning your first assessment or training session, you'll need to calibrate your device. Calibration ensures that exercises display at the correct scale for your screen size, helping provide a consistent testing and training experience.
Log in to the Edge Trainer and follow the Device Profile calibration instructions here. If you switch to a different computer or tablet, be sure to calibrate that device before continuing.
The Edge Test is a roughly 10-minute visual and cognitive assessment that measures six key skills: Alignment, Depth Perception, Convergence, Divergence, Recognition, and Tracking.
Once completed, you'll receive an overall Edge Score out of 100, along with a breakdown of your individual skills. These results establish your starting point and help build your personalized training plan.
To begin, log in to your account and select Take Your Edge Test.

Edge Trainer & Results

Your Edge Score is an overall measure of your visual and cognitive performance, generated from your Edge Test results. Scored from 0–100, it provides a benchmark of how effectively you process visual information.
Your results also include individual skill scores and comparisons to help you better understand your strengths and opportunities for improvement.
As you train and retest, you can track how your abilities develop over time.
Vizual Edge offers three training modes to fit your needs:
My Plan: Your personalized six-week training program, developed from your Edge Test results. This should be the foundation of your training.
Open Gym: Choose individual exercises to focus on specific visual and cognitive skills or get additional practice outside your training plan.
Game Day: A quick, approximately eight-minute visual warm-up designed to help you prepare before practices or competitions.
For the best experience, we recommend following My Plan consistently and using Open Gym and Game Day as supplemental training options.
We recommend completing three My Plan sessions per week, with each session lasting approximately 15 minutes.
Consistency is key! Your personalized training program follows a progressive six-week cycle designed to develop your visual and cognitive skills. At the end of each cycle, you'll complete another Edge Test to measure your progress and generate an updated training plan.
To prevent overtraining, My Plan is limited to three sessions within any seven-day period. We also recommend avoiding My Plan sessions immediately before practices or competitions.
For additional training, you can use Open Gym and Game Day as often as you'd like. Game Day is specifically designed as a pre-competition visual warm-up, and we recommend completing it 30–90 minutes before competition.
Your Vizual Edge Dashboard provides a quick snapshot of your performance and training progress.

Frequently Asked Questions

Vizual Edge is an online visual and cognitive assessment and training platform designed to help athletes and individuals measure and improve how they process visual information.
Through specialized assessments and personalized training exercises, Vizual Edge develops important skills such as visual tracking, depth perception, recognition, and visual processing speed—all of which play a role in athletic performance and everyday activities.
Vizual Edge combines objective assessment with personalized training to help you better understand and develop your visual and cognitive abilities.
You'll begin with the Edge Test, an approximately 10-minute assessment that measures six visual and cognitive skills. Based on your results, Vizual Edge creates a personalized six-week training program designed to address your individual strengths and areas for improvement.
Regular reassessments help you track your progress and continue developing your skills.
Vizual Edge is designed for athletes of all ages and skill levels, from youth and recreational players to collegiate and professional competitors.
While widely used in sports performance, the platform can also benefit individuals interested in improving their visual processing abilities, focus, and cognitive performance.
Coaches, teams, training facilities, and eye care professionals can also incorporate Vizual Edge into their programs.
Visual and cognitive skills play an important role in nearly every sport. Whether you're tracking a baseball, reading the ice in hockey, anticipating an opponent's movement in tennis, or making split-second decisions on the football field, processing visual information efficiently is essential.
Vizual Edge is used across a wide range of sports, including baseball, softball, hockey, basketball, football, soccer, tennis, pickleball, lacrosse, volleyball, and more.
The platform focuses on developing underlying visual and cognitive abilities that can be applied across different sports and competitive environments.
Vizual Edge evaluates six core visual and cognitive skills through the Edge Test, which contribute to your overall Edge Score and personalized training recommendations.
The Core Six — Assessment & Training
- Alignment: How effectively your eyes work together to maintain accurate visual positioning.
- Depth Perception: Your ability to judge distances and spatial relationships between objects.
- Convergence: Your ability to coordinate both eyes when focusing on nearby objects.
- Divergence: Your ability to coordinate both eyes when focusing on distant objects.
- Recognition: How quickly and accurately you identify, process, and respond to visual information.
- Tracking (Saccades): Your ability to rapidly shift visual attention between targets.
Additional Skills — Training Only
- Tracking (Smooth Pursuits): The ability to smoothly follow moving objects with your eyes.
- Contrast Sensitivity: The ability to distinguish objects from their backgrounds, particularly in challenging lighting conditions.
- Contrast Tracking: Combines visual tracking and contrast recognition to identify and follow targets among distractions.
- Alternating Flexibility: Trains your eyes to efficiently alternate between convergence and divergence, adjusting focus between near and distant targets.
Together, these exercises help develop the visual and cognitive abilities athletes rely on to track movement, process information, and react during competition.
Unlike traditional vision training programs that may require specialized equipment or in-person appointments, Vizual Edge is a web-based platform that allows you to assess and train your visual and cognitive skills from virtually anywhere.
The program uses your individual Edge Test results to create a personalized training experience, combining measurable performance data with short, convenient training sessions.
Vizual Edge is designed for performance training and is not a replacement for professional eye care or prescribed vision therapy.
Improvement varies from person to person and depends on factors such as your starting abilities, training consistency, and individual goals.
Some users may begin noticing changes within the first few weeks, but we recommend completing a full six-week My Plan cycle before reassessing your progress.
Like physical training, developing visual and cognitive skills takes time and consistent effort. Improvements in training or assessment scores do not necessarily guarantee improvements in on-field performance.
Yes. Vizual Edge was developed from decades of work in sports vision assessment and training, originally led by Dr. Barry Seiller, a pioneer in sports vision.
The platform has been used by athletes, coaches, and organizations across professional, collegiate, and youth sports. Its assessment and training methodologies have evolved through years of research, development, and real-world application.
Results vary by individual, and research findings should not be interpreted as a guarantee of performance improvement.
Absolutely! Vizual Edge has a long history of working with athletes and organizations across professional, collegiate, and amateur sports.
Its assessment technology has been used in professional baseball scouting and player evaluation, while its training programs have been incorporated into athlete development across sports including hockey, baseball, softball, basketball, football, and more.
The same core assessment and training technology is available to individual athletes looking to develop their visual and cognitive skills.
No! Many individuals who wear prescription glasses or contact lenses can use Vizual Edge.
We generally recommend wearing the same vision correction you would normally use during competition, along with the required Vizual Edge 3D glasses.
Certain eye conditions or binocular vision difficulties may affect your ability to complete some exercises. If you have concerns about your vision, we recommend contacting our team or consulting your eye care professional before beginning.
Yes! Vizual Edge can be incorporated into both in-season and offseason training routines.
We recommend completing three My Plan sessions per week to maintain a consistent training schedule, while avoiding intensive training sessions immediately before competition.
For pre-competition preparation, Game Day offers a short visual warm-up that we recommend completing approximately 30–90 minutes before competition.
No. Vizual Edge is designed to complement your existing athletic development program by focusing on visual and cognitive abilities that traditional strength, conditioning, and skill-based training may not directly address.
It is not intended to replace sport-specific practice, comprehensive eye examinations, corrective lenses, or prescribed medical treatment.
Think of Vizual Edge as another tool in your overall performance development routine.
Vizual Edge can be used on a compatible computer or tablet. Because screen sizes vary, the Edge Trainer includes a device calibration process to ensure exercises are displayed at the appropriate scale.
We recommend using a screen that's large enough to comfortably view the exercises and completing calibration before your first assessment or training session. Smartphones are not currently supported.
Item descriptionVizual Edge uses specialized red and blue 3D glasses to create a stereoscopic viewing experience, allowing us to assess and train how your eyes work together.
These glasses are essential for exercises involving skills such as depth perception, convergence, and divergence.
While some exercises can be completed without the glasses, we recommend using your provided Vizual Edge 3D glasses for the full assessment and training experience.
Yes! If you normally wear prescription glasses or contact lenses during sports or everyday activities, we recommend wearing them while assessing and training with Vizual Edge.
If you wear prescription glasses, simply place your Vizual Edge 3D glasses over them.
For the most consistent results, use the same vision correction each time you assess or train.
No. Only official Vizual Edge 3D glasses should be used to ensure accurate and consistent assessment and training results.
Our software and exercises are specifically designed to work with the precise lens colors and filtering properties of Vizual Edge 3D glasses. Traditional red and blue 3D glasses may use different lens specifications, which can interfere with how the exercises are displayed and perceived.
Using non-Vizual Edge glasses may produce inaccurate results or prevent certain exercises from functioning properly. For the best experience, always use your official Vizual Edge 3D glasses.
