I'm excited to launch this blog, the newest component of Transitions' Improve Your Vision, Improve Your Game program. It's meant to facilitate the exchange of dialogue about vision and its effect on sports performance. Clearly, eye health and the quality of your vision are integral to the success of your game, whether it's reading the green or judging the distance of your next shot. The choices you make impact the quality of your eyesight—not just for today, but for the long-term health of your eyes and your playing ability.
Transitions Optical is pleased to be the title sponsor of the Transitions Championship for Healthy Sight, a PGA TOUR event at the Innisbrook Resort and Golf Club in Palm Harbor, FL. We are also proud to be the Official Eyewear of the PGA TOUR, Champions Tour and Nationwide Tour. Improve Your Vision, Improve Your Game is part of our broad-reaching initiative to educate consumers about the importance of healthy sight and overall health and wellness. After watching "Spider Man" Camilo Villegas clinch yet another victory in The TOUR Championship, I'm sure he'd attest to the fact that the ability to maintain quality vision is crucial to his game.
We've created this program with the help of golf and sports vision training experts. We hope to demonstrate that healthy sight not only contributes to optimal sports performance, but more importantly, comprises a crucial part of an overall healthy lifestyle. Meet our experts and the co-authors of the Improve Your Vision, Improve Your Game blog: Larry Lampert, O.D., sports vision specialist and trainer, and Matt Killen, professional golf instructor and swing coach, They'll be leading the conversation, and I will continue to be around in my role as business manager of sports sponsorships, along with my colleague Rose Wallace, to answer any questions you may have for us.
Dr. Lampert and Matt aim to post weekly, and they will answer questions regularly. This is a moderated site, so please note that not all entries will be posted and/or answered.
I encourage you to add this blog to your favorites and continue to check back often for helpful tips and inside-the-ropes insights. By introducing you to proper eyecare and eyewear, this program can help improve your vision and improve your game—both on and off the course.
