An optometrist at ݮƵ’s new Sports Vision Clinic helps athletes improve performance with vision training
By Staff Faculty of ScienceAthletes use weight training to improve their game and now a ݮƵ researcher is hoping vision training - exercises for an athletes’ visual system - will take their performance to the next level.
“Improving vision should be just another way we can help athletes of all levels become better at the sport of their choice,” says Dr. Kristine Dalton, a professor in the School of Optometry & Vision Science in the Faculty of Science.
Dalton recently established the University of ݮƵ Sports Vision Clinic, where she works with athletes of all types and ages. The clinic is among the first Sports Vision clinics in Canada. Dalton hopes her research and clinical practice will not only help athletes but eventually people who have vision loss due to stroke, injury or other illness. “Can we help them navigate their everyday environments better through vision training? asks Dalton. “And also, can we help rehabilitate people?”
