Relevance: This study explores the relationship between visual skills and sports practice, a topic of interest in sports optometry. Purpose: The main objective was to compare visual skills between athletes and non-athletes to determine whether the level of physical activity influences visual acuity and related capabilities. Materials and Methods: A sample of 28 participants was selected, evenly divided between athletes and non-athletes. Various visual skills were evaluated, including dynamic visual acuity, eye-hand coordination, and accommodative flexibility, using standardized tests. Results: Athletes demonstrated superior dynamic visual acuity and better eye-hand coordination compared to non-athletes. However, no significant differences were observed in accommodative flexibility between the two groups. Conclusions: The study suggests that sports practice may be associated with better performance in certain visual skills, which could have implications for training and rehabilitation in optometry.
