Basketball Instruction - shooting and the eyes


Expert: Bret Temple - 8/4/2008

Question
i know this isn't your area of expertise but you're the only expert that i could ask

anyway i have a vision condition where i see double sometimes, and i was wondering if it affected my shooting
it gives me a headache at times, and i mean i could still see the basket but its hard to concentrate on a certain area of the basket
i was also wondering if it affected my depth perception, and if you knew how to work around it
thanks

Answer
HI Antonio,

This is definately not my area of expertise, however my suggestion is to talk to your eye doctor. If you have double vision, I'm fairly certain it is affecting your ability to shoot the basketball accurately. I wear contact lenses, and when I'm playing sports sometimes one of my lenses rotates the wrong way and becomes very slightly blurry which throws off my entire game. So I'm sure your being affected by it. Talk to your doctor to see how you be able to compensate.

Good Luck.
