For peak performers seeking to optimize life
Just as an athlete requires specific visual skills to excel at a certain sport, do you possess the necessary visual skills and abilities to excel at a desired aspect within your life?
Do you have specific vocational, educational or recreational goals? Are you experiencing headaches, eyestrain, eye fatigue, blurry vision, double vision, font instability, poor tracking, reduced reading comprehension, or reduced visual efficiency?
Does your career or interests require specialized visual demands or skills that you would like to improve on? Are you an executive, pilot, surgeon, or police officer? Most careers involve visual skills that can be improved to enhance proficiency and efficiency.
If this intrigues you, consider enquiring about how a Performance Vision Exam may be beneficial.
