STATESBORO, Ga.— For student-athletes, vision is a critical part of their success in their sport and in their studies. Dr. Horace Deal, a long-time supporter of Georgia Southern athletics, specializes in sports vision and offers vision tests and training to Eagles players and coaches.
"Every athlete will come in and do an initial evaluation, just like a regular eye exam," Deal said. "We check on things like depth perception and focus. If there are some deficits there, then we recommend either sports vision or vision training if needed."
The Georgia Southern Cheerleaders went through the training at Vision Source which helps them and other Eagles perform at the highest level.
