Even if you have no training in sports vision, you are an integral part of the primary eye health of your patients involved in sports. Many of the patients that sit in your chair play golf, tennis, little league, and high school sports.
Your patients depend on you, as eye care experts, to help them understand how to properly protect their eyes in sports, diagnose vision impairments that may impact their performance, and refer them to local sports vision eye doctors to help improve their sports performance and safety.
Furthermore, incorporating basic sports vision services can be an easy way to add value to your services and expand your practice. Developing a relationship with local high school teams, golf clubs, and other sports leagues can help you reach more patients. Athletes, coaches, and athletic trainers always talk to each other about what can best help improve their game. Helping one athlete improve their performance will bring in their teammates, friends, and other athletes.
Sports Vision Pros can be a valuable resource in helping you expand your practice and meet the eye care needs of any and all of your patients that participate in sport.
