Baseball : A baseball's size and color - and the varying light conditions during play - present special issues. Players need clear, stable vision; peripheral awareness; image size accuracy; and perceptual accuracy.
Basketball : Bright courtside lighting, constant motion, and the need to accurately measure distances demand visual stability under dynamic conditions, peripheral awareness, depth perception, and focus flexibility.
Cycling : Cyclers maintain an unusual head/eye position, yet need to read detailed information from instruments and maps at a glance. This requires dynamic acuity and contrast sensitivity. Eye protection against wind and debris is also important..
Football : For rapid reaction time under dynamic conditions, players need dynamic acuity, focus flexibility, depth perception, and good eye-hand/foot-body coordination.
Golf : The constant judgements of distance, roll of green and alignments require overall visual acuity; the game also demands superb eye-hand coordination..
Hockey : Players need a constant awareness of their spatial relationship to opponents and the puck—under dynamic conditions. This requires dynamic acuity, focus flexibility, and depth perception. Eye protection is highly recommended for this aggressive sport.
Skiing : Snow, wind, cold, and bright light combine with low oxygen and intense ultraviolet exposure under dynamic conditions to create a host of demands. Use maximum ultraviolet protection.
Soccer : For rapid reaction time under dynamic conditions players need good peripheral awareness, dynamic acuity, and eye-foot coordination. The goal keeper also needs eye-hand coordination and short time reaction.
Tennis : Special challenges include prolonged visual concentration and the need to detect the ball's movement instantly. That takes sharp visual acuity, dynamic acuity, and focus flexibility. Be sure to use eye protection.
