Abstract
Background: One of the most important senses in the human body is vision, which is used in many daily activities. Sports vision training is a rapidly expanding industry in the field of visual-skill development. Sports vision training had previously only been used on athletes to enhance their visual abilities and athletic performance. Still, given the pandemic’s effects and the rise in ocular ailments among college students, there is an urgent need to address their visual issues
Purpose: To explore the need of sport vision training in higher education institutes
Methods: This article examines the value of sports vision training, its necessity, and how it can be incorporated to meet the increased visual needs of college students. 170 articles were identified in this study, of which 38 were included. The search techniques included “Citation Searching” and “Using Keyword.” Google Scholar, Semantic Scholar and PubMed were used as the search engines. Both AND and OR were used as Boolean operators
Conclusions: This review also sheds a broad light on the visual problems among university students and why there is a high need to tackle them. This research concluded that to overcome the visual problems among university students, sports vision training should be opted for in higher education institutes
