Everyday Life

Visual input is crucial for maintaining balance. Training the eyes to better detect changes in the environment and body position can help individuals stay steady on their feet, reducing the risk of falls and improving overall stability.

Fine and gross motor skills rely heavily on visual coordination. Visual performance training can improve tasks that require precise eye-hand coordination, such as writing, typing, cooking, or playing musical instruments.

For cyclists, good vision is essential for navigating routes, avoiding obstacles and maintaining balance. Visual training can enhance the ability to judge distances, perceive depth and react quickly to changing conditions, leading to safer and more effective cycling.

Good visual performance is critical for safe driving. It involves quick and accurate visual processing to read road signs, judge distances, recognise hazards and respond to sudden changes in traffic. Visual training can sharpen these skills, contributing to better driving performance and safety.

Whether playing sports or engaging in fitness activities, visual performance training can improve coordination, reaction times and spatial awareness. This leads to better performance and reduced risk of injury in activities such as running, tennis, basketball and yoga.

Everyday tasks like walking, navigating crowded spaces, or even grocery shopping can be made easier with better visual skills. Enhanced peripheral vision, depth perception and focus contribute to smoother and more efficient execution of these activities.

Quick and accurate visual processing helps in reacting promptly to environmental changes. This is beneficial in many daily scenarios, from catching a falling object to responding to unexpected events while walking or driving.

Enhanced visual skills support better reading fluency and comprehension, making it easier to process information quickly and accurately. This is beneficial not only for work or study but also for daily tasks such as reading instructions or following recipes.

Visual performance training can enhance cognitive functions like memory, attention and problem-solving skills. These improvements can translate into better performance in both professional and personal tasks.

As people age, visual and motor skills often decline. Visual performance training can help mitigate these effects, improving balance, coordination and overall quality of life for older adults.

Simple exercises like tracking moving objects, focusing on distant and near objects alternately and practicing peripheral vision awareness can be effective.

Activities like playing catch, cycling and engaging in sports can naturally enhance visual-motor coordination.

Find a practitioner with a Senaptec Sensory Station or use the At-Home-Training App and online programmes designed for visual training can offer structured exercises to improve various aspects of visual performance.

Ensure proper lighting, take regular breaks from screens and maintain a healthy diet rich in nutrients that support eye health.

Optometrists and vision therapists can provide personalised training programmes tailored to individual needs.
