Abstract
A sports vision training device includes a pair of glasses with a frame supporting a left lens and a right lens. The right lens carries a right reticle, and the left lens carries a left reticle. The reticles provide visual references within the field of view of the player. The reticles may include upper and lower horizontal reference lines, vertical reference lines, a frame, and a crosshair pattern. Different patterns can be used for depth control training, timing control training, and early recognition for tennis and other sports.

A sports vision training device comprising:
- a frame;
- a left lens supported by the frame;
- a right lens supported by the frame;
- a left reticle on the left lens;
- and
- a right reticle on the right lens,
- wherein the left and right reticles are placed on the lenses such that the images from the two eyes of the player wearing the device fuse to create a merged reticle for tracking a ball in play and wherein the left and right reticles each include an upper horizontal reference line and a lower horizontal reference line wherein at least one of the upper and lower horizontal lines includes line segments separated by a space.
A sports vision training device comprising:
- a frame;
- a left lens supported by the frame;
- a right lens supported by the frame;
- a left reticle on the left lens;
- a right reticle on the right lens,
- wherein the left and right reticles are placed on the lenses such that the images from the two eyes of the player wearing the device fuse to create a merged reticle for tracking a ball in play, wherein the left and right reticles each include a vertical reference line, wherein the left and right reticles each further include a horizontal reference line, and wherein the horizontal reference line is connected to and extends outward from one end of the vertical reference line.
A sports vision training device comprising:
- a frame;
- a left lens supported by the frame;
- a right lens supported by the frame;
- a left reticle on the left lens;
- and
- a right reticle on the right lens,
- wherein the left and right reticles are placed on the lenses such that the images from the two eyes of the player wearing the device fuse to create a merged reticle for tracking a ball in play, and wherein the left and right reticles each include a reticle frame.
A sports vision training device comprising:
- a frame;
- a pair of lenses supported by the frame;
- and
- a reticle on at least one of the pair of lenses,
- wherein the reticle comprises a vertical reference line and a horizontal reference line,
- wherein the horizontal reference line is connected to and extends outward from the lower end of the vertical reference line,
- wherein the reticle is positioned on the lens such that when the device is worn, the reticle provides a reference to aid in maintaining a steady head position and in tracking the flight of a ball in motion.
A sports vision training device comprising:
- a frame;
- a pair of lenses supported by the frame;
- and
- a reticle on at least one of the pair of lenses,
- wherein the reticle comprises a closed frame,
- wherein the reticle is positioned on the lens such that when the device is worn, the reticle provides a reference to aid in maintaining a steady head position and in tracking the flight of a ball in motion.
A sports vision training device comprising:
- a frame;
- a pair of lenses supported by the frame;
- and
- a reticle on at least one of the pair of lenses,
- wherein the reticle comprises a crosshair pattern enclosed in a frame,
- wherein the reticle is positioned on the lens such that when the device is worn, the reticle provides a reference to aid in maintaining a steady head position and in tracking the flight of a ball in motion.
