Sports vision training for Montverde athletes.
Tryouts come down to a few reps, and coaches notice the athletes who see the play first. We test and train the visual skills behind reaction time, tracking and awareness for middle and high school athletes, usually about 15 to 20 minutes from Montverde at our Clermont office.
It might be their eyes, not their effort.
Many athletes pass a school eye screening and still struggle with the visual side of their sport. Visual skills can be measured, and they can be trained.
- Swings late, or misses balls they should catch
- Misjudges how far or how fast the ball or opponent is moving
- Plays well in practice but fades late in games
- Gets tense and makes mistakes when the pressure rises
- Also avoids reading, loses their place or gets headaches with homework
Visual skills are still developing. Now is the time to train them.
Sports are played in motion, under pressure, with split-second decisions. Our evaluation measures how your athlete's eyes align, team, track and focus, and shows exactly where training will help most.
Some of the skills we test
- Visual clarity and contrast sensitivity
- Depth perception
- Near-far focusing
- Eye tracking

Questions from Montverde parents
How far is your office from Montverde?
Our office is at 235 Citrus Tower Blvd, Suite 107, in Clermont. From Montverde, head south on County Road 455 to State Road 50, then west into Clermont. The drive is usually about 15 to 20 minutes. We're on the back side of the building.
Will this help my athlete make the team?
No program can promise a roster spot. Training builds the visual skills coaches notice at tryouts: reading the play early, reacting quickly and staying focused under pressure.
What ages do you work with?
Our sports vision program is built for middle and high school athletes, from players trying out for their first school team to varsity athletes working for more playing time.
My athlete passed a school eye screening. Why would they need this?
A school screening checks how clearly your athlete sees a still chart. It doesn't test how the eyes team, focus, track or react, which are the skills that matter in a game and in the classroom.
How do we get started?
Every athlete starts with a Binocular Vision Evaluation with Dr. Toler ($295), followed by a consultation to review the results. Training is then built around your athlete's sport and position.
Can we use FES-UA scholarship funds?
Yes. Performance Vision Training is eligible for Florida Empowerment Scholarship (FES-UA) funds through Step Up For Students.
