Reviews

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐As a second year optometry student interested in sports vision, this textbook is great. Very informative and well written. Starts with the basics and gets more in depth. Perfect for a student such as myself as we aren’t offered a sports vision class. I would recommend.

⭐Great book.

⭐This book was not very helpful in understanding how people visually pick cues in sport. Unless you are an eye-doctor and trying to sell glasses, I would not buy it. I threw the book away only because I could not get anyone to take it.

⭐Great book

⭐I enjoyed the 2 very good chapters on Sport Vision Assessment and Training. A great book for a beginner to Sports Vision. Well writen and researched.

⭐Great, comprehensive guide on Sports and Performance Visual Training!
