Sports Vision
Drs. Mjelstad and Langemo are the team doctors for the Minnesota Twins and Minnesota Vikings.
They have provided eyecare for the Twins since 1999.
Sports Vision training works on improving the visual abilities of an athlete that are most necessary for excellence in their sport. Some of these abilities include eye-hand coordination, dynamic visual acuity, tracking, focusing, visual reaction time, and peripheral vision. All activities are done on a sport specific basis with a custom tailored program for each sport and athlete. Therefore, a program for a tennis player will emphasize eye-hand coordination and dynamic visual acuity whereas a program for a golfer will concentrate on visual alignment and depth perception to see the breaks in the greens.
Many athletes are amazed at how we can predict their performance based on our findings from a visual screening. If you are having trouble getting to the next level in your particular sport even after stepping up your practice, you might have a visual problem limiting your success.
The visual skills necessary for peak athletic performance in many sports are:
Dynamic Visual Acuity: Seeing moving objects clearly
Eye Tracking: the ability to "keep your eye on the ball.”
Eye Focusing: the ability to change focus from one object to another quickly and clearly.
Peripheral Awareness: seeing out of the corner of your eye.
Depth Perception: the ability to quickly and accurately judge the distance and speed of objects.
Eye-Hand or Eye-Body Coordination: the ability to use our eyes to effectively direct the movements of our hands/body.
Dr. Nathan Langemo specializes in sports vision, sensory training, and neuro-rehabilitation. He works with teams and individual athletes seeking to maximize their visual skills. Please call 952-935-2020 to speak to him directly to learn how he can help to improve your performance.
