| ABSTRACT:
About 90 million Americans, or 35% of the population across all age groups, avidly participate in some sort of sport, while another 84 million participate in a sport occasionally. These athletes may have special visual needs that O.D.s can provide. A sports vision specialty can serve not only as a practice builder, drawing a new population of patients, but can provide needed eye services. This article will discuss the levels of care for athletes and the evaluation and management of these patients. |
