Finding a Sports Vision Doctor

Finding a Sports Vision Doctor

The two main organizations that sports vision specialists belong to are the American Optometric Association Sports Vision Section and the International Academy of Sports Vision. Both organizations can give you more information about finding a specialist.

You should also consult your regular eye doctor for referrals to specialists in your area. Be sure to check with your insurance company to determine if you're covered.

Another related organization is The College of Optometrists in Vision Development. The COVD is devoted mainly to the study of vision development in children. Optometrists in this field practice vision therapy, which seeks to correct childhood vision problems. But some of the tests and treatments these practitioners use are also used in sports vision.
