On the Field.
In Ten Minutes.
Vision Combine is a measurement tool. A coach sets up an iPad 10 feet from the player, runs a short battery of tests from a phone, and gets a Vision Combine score for every player on the roster.
Four steps from roster to results
You need an iPad on a stand at the recommended distance, a phone as a remote response device, and your roster in your Vision Combine dashboard.

Three skills the game demands
A fastball arrives in a fraction of a second. Vision Combine assesses three visual skills that support the demands of competitive sport.
Detail
How clearly an athlete can resolve fine detail at distance.
Contrast
How well an athlete distinguishes an object from its background. It matters when tracking the ball against a variable background during day and night conditions.
Motion
How well an athlete picks up and processes detail on a moving target, which is closer to game conditions than a static chart.
Vision science has linked measures beyond standard visual acuity with batting and plate-discipline metrics (see The Science). Vision Combine assesses these skills; it is not a training program.

Vision Combine score bands
What coaches see
Every session produces a per-player report and a roll-up for the whole team.
- Per-player: a Vision Combine score out of 110, a score for each test, and the session date
- Bands: every score falls in a performance band, so you can see where each player stands
- Trend: baseline vs. latest, with per-player deltas over the last six sessions
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a session take?
Around 8 to 10 minutes per player for the full battery. A full roster of 30 players can typically be tested in a single practice.
Is this a replacement for an eye exam?
No. Vision Combine is a sports performance tool that measures visual performance skills relevant to the demands of sport. It does not diagnose, treat, or prevent any condition or disease, and it is not a substitute for a comprehensive eye exam.
Does Vision Combine train vision?
No. The Vision Combine measures visual skills critical for success in your sport. If improvement can be made, a list of certified eye care professionals in your area will be provided to maximize an athlete’s visual potential.
