Our Practice

Sports vision refers to vision care focused on the specialized needs of athletes. Dr. Kirschen and Dr. Moffett specialize in sports vision and provides comprehensive eye care that can improve eye health, safety, and performance for athletes and weekend warriors.

When it comes to physical activity, your performance depends not only on the clarity of your vision, but also on how well your eyes track objects, your hand-eye coordination, and your depth perception.

During a sports vision evaluation, our doctors evaluate these vital visual tools and develops a treatment plan to help you improve them, which in turn improves your athletic abilities.

Our doctors determine if you’re a good candidate for sports vision services during a sports vision evaluation. If you participate in sports at any level (from the professional level to playing pickleball with friends a few times a week), you may benefit from a consultation.

In addition to assessing your vision needs and eye health, sports vision evaluations are designed to assess visual skills needed for optimizing sports performance.

Our doctors perform a sports vision evaluation where they ask detailed questions about your sport, your performance goals, and areas of struggle, as well as your vision and eye health history, medical history, and family history.

After the interview, our doctors perform a number of specialized tests to assess your visual acuity, contrast sensitivity, stereo vision, eye-hand/foot coordination, reaction time, and visual processing time.

Our doctors develop individualized sports vision treatment plans based on the results of your comprehensive eye exam and your specific athletic goals and performance needs. Sports vision is very individualized and the specifics of your plan depends on many factors.
