Sports Vision Service

Note: The Sports Vision Service is offering limited services at the interim Waterloo clinic location while the Waterloo Eye Institute is under construction. Watch for news about a full resumption once the permanent location reopens, expected to be in late 2026.

If you're an athlete of any age, we can help you optimize your vision and enhance your athletic performance.

We assess all aspects of vision associated with sports performance, including your eye-hand and eye-foot coordination, reaction time and eye movements.

Using specialized equipment that mimics the demands on your vision during sports, we can develop a personalized vision training program to help you improve your game.

We can also prescribe sports-specific glasses or contact lenses for wear while you're playing. If you already wear sports-specific contact lenses, we offer lens checks to ensure they fit and function correctly.

Our Sports Vision Service was one of the first of its kind in Canada. The service's founder, Dr. Kristine Dalton, conducts research into how vision training can enhance athletic performance. She also works with Paralympic athletes and is helping to develop sports-specific classification systems for international Paralympic competition.
