Vision and sports. If your child is involved in sports he may require a great deal of hand-eye coordination as well as good vision in order to perform well. If your child is consistently under-performing in a sport that he or she usually does well in, there could be a vision problem. Some vision skills that children require to play sports include: Hand-eye coordination: Using visual information to move the hands, such as when aiming and swinging a bat. Visual acuity: Seeing objects clearly at different distances. Eye teaming: Seeing depth and accurately judging distance using both eyes. Eye tracking: Keeping eyes together on a moving target or while looking from one object to another. Eye focusing: Being able to quickly keep an object clearly in focus while it changes distance. If any of these vision skills are lacking or underdeveloped, children can have a difficult time in sports and may not be playing the best that they could be. An eye exam maybe helpful in your childs performance in sports.
