“This is the 3rd clinical study to validate the accuracy of our device and its ability to pick up on the smallest changes in refraction. “We are excited by the results of this study” said Yaopeng Zhou, Smart Vision Labs, CEO and Co-Founder. In fact, baseball is one of the rare times in life when you are considered highly skilled for being successful only 30% of the time. It is not difficult to understand why hitting a baseball is often termed the most difficult task in all of sports and why excellent visual function is required for success. The batter must predict, based upon the initial trajectory of the ball as well as the ball’s spin, where and when it will cross the plate allowing him to strike it with a wooden bat a mere 2.75 inches in diameter. The baseball, barely 3 inches in diameter, is often thrown at speeds approaching 100 mph from a distance of 60 feet 6 inches. Additionally, the impact of any refractive error, if present, on the batter’s visual function is often greater than what is seen in the average population with a similar refractive error (authors’’ clinical experience). Small deviations in the refraction of the eye can, reduce vision and thus negatively impact the performance of a baseball player.Įven a small refractive error, left uncorrected, could decrease vision to the “normal” 20/20 level (or perhaps even worse), which is likely insufficient to allow optimal batting performance. Clear and sharp vision is extremely important for a batter to have the best chance to actually hit the ball successfully. In comparison, the visual acuity for the general population is two lines worse, or 20/20.

Previous research has found that professional baseball players have visual acuity of approximately 20/12. New York, NY – July 5, 2017, Smart Vision Labs ( ) announced today the release of their latest clinical study on The Refractive Error of Professional Baseball Players, The study concludes that the SVOne wavefront autorefraction system is effective in detecting extremely small, but important, refractive errors in professional baseball players.Īccording to the study, hitting a baseball is one of the most difficult activities in sports. New Study reveals the SVOne Autorefractor successfully measures the small yet significant refractive errors of professional baseball players.
