Visual performance achieved through macular pigment supplementation includes contrast sensitivity, glare recovery, and a better MPOD — but it can go far beyond that: professional and amateur athletes who use our guidance for ocular nutrition can expect to see with greater color definition, react faster due to decreased latency in the information traveling along the visual pathway inside the brain, and even improve cognitive ability that works in classroom as well as on the field for student athletes. Not everyone will want to take advantage of a competitive edge in sports, but we will help those that want that.
We will evaluate and recommend to our sports vision clients the same way we evaluate and manage eye disease for our medical eye care patients. The stakes are just different when dealing with visual performance; it’s not typically as life changing — UNLESS you’re depending on your eyes for a career as a firefighter, police officer, professional driver, member of an elite military force, or as a professional athlete. Once a child is 17 years old and seeking athletic scholarship funds or programs leading to their ideal profession this level of supplementation is necessary to achieve the best performance. More so than the smaller doses available in a teen vitamin. Visual edge is a competitive advantage that’s NSF Sport certified and legal! You’re going to want to take advantage of the tools used at the highest level!
