Toronto, Jan. 21, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Eyecarrot Innovations Corp., (Eyecarrot) (TSX-V: EYC | OTCQB: EYCCF) is pleased to announce its Diamond Sponsorship of the Annual International Sports Vision Association Conference (ISVA) being held at the Bahia Resort in San Diego, California February 6th through to February 8th, 2020. The International Sports Vision Association (ISVA) is an interdisciplinary group of professionals dedicated to advancing the field of vision training for athletes of all ages and levels to help them achieve peak athletic performance. Vision, just like speed and strength, is a critical component in how well you play any sport.
“This year’s conference theme, Beyond 20/20, was designed to educate practitioners about how to build and enhance a sports vision speciality. Our exciting speaker lineup includes some of the leading authorities in sports vision assessment and training and offers a combination of hands-on and lecture style continuing education presentations. Whether you are interested in establishing a sports vision practice or already conducting specific vision skill testing and actively engaged in working with athletes and/or teams, we are confident you will find the conference stimulating and rewarding.” stated Gary Esterow, ISVA Executive Director.
Sports vision tests and training can help athletes determine how well their eyes perform beyond a basic ability to see letters and objects clearly on a standard eye chart. By discovering if any weaknesses lie in these areas, trainers may have an opportunity to help an athlete enhance not only these visual skills, but also the resulting performance in their sport.
"As president of the International Sports Vision Association, I am pleased to have Eyecarrot as our exclusive Diamond sponsor for our annual meeting this year in San Diego. Eyecarrot's cutting edge technology is a perfect fit for today's athlete looking to achieve optimal athletic performance. The success of our meeting relies heavily on corporate support. Your generous sponsorship will allow ISVA to continue building awareness of sports vision as a specialty within optometry.” commented Dr. Alex Andrich, O.D., FCOVD, ISVA President.
Athletes that use their visual system to its maximum potential will gain optimal performance and a competitive edge. Optometrists with expertise in sports vision assessment and training, along with other professionals such as athletic trainers and coaches can work together to train athletes and improve visual function, leading to improved performance.
“We’re very excited to be participating once again in the ISVA conference —this year as a Diamond Sponsor— especially with this year’s focus on vision skills and vision training. We look forward to showing ISVA members new ways for them to measure and capture data from their athletes using Binovi Touch and Binovi Pro. Working with some leading Sports Vision experts, Binovi presents a game-changing way of collecting and analyzing crucial information for a crucial sense in sports.” said Adam Cegielski, Eyecarrot Founder and CEO.
The company looks forward to participating in this year’s conference.
