Abstract

Optometry's sport vision specialty examines, corrects, and enhances athletes' visual performance abilities. Sport has developed into a thriving, highly competitive sector of our society. Realizing one's full potential has been emphasized. Previous studies have revealed that visual reaction time and hand-eye coordination are two extremely important traits. Depending on what the surrounding sport needs are, a sport's level of ocular inclusion varies. It is uncommon for a study paper to state the theorem that visual exercise training can improve an athlete's visual abilities and that improved ocular function skills will improve an athlete's performance. The concept that visual exercise training can improve an athlete's visual abilities and that improved ocular function skills will improve an athlete's performance is uncommon in research papers. To address the plethora of exciting concerns raised by the connection between sports and eyesight, there is a need for research and the present review focuses on the same. In conclusion, the study shows that specific visual abilities, such as peripheral vision perception and choice response time, can be improved with the correct visual training exercises. Visual function abilities are automatically improved, and this is directly proportional to training. The ability to play multiple tasks in the central and peripheral visual fields at once and verify eminent separate objects, as in the different task of thing tracking, would not be identified in review article.
