Specialised Instrumentation

Most commonly two groups of instruments are used in sports vision: vision training software developed for binocular vision and perceptual training of people with vision deficiencies and dedicated sports vision instruments developed in the 1980’s. Neither group of instruments are part of the sports vision training instrumentation at MICHEL GUILLON SPORTS VISION CLINIC. The vision training software are inadequate as they were developed as remedial tools, whereas our aim is to produce vision superior to normal. The 1980’s instrumentation lacks modern computerised control necessary to develop complex customised routines.

 MICHEL GUILLON SPORTS VISION CLINIC specialist instrumentation includes the following;
 
MG Vision is a software developed by our research group and enable's us to measure vision under determined time constraint and fully controlled environmental conditions representing closely the sporting environment of interest ( e.g. time, lighting level, contrast and color).  
 

SVT a computerised touch sensitive board that allows to measure and train vision / motor reaction time. The fully programmable board as enabled us to develop an extensive range of routines such as routine to measure peripheral awareness and quantify differences between different directions of gaze or to train goalkeepers to react to shot deflections.

 Eye tracker a number of eye trackers are used including a wireless system that is used during normal play. For example we record where a tennis player is looking while receiving a serve or volleying and can give the player and coach feedback as to the visual strategy associated with successful play.
