| Many sports professionals of soccer, rugby, cycling, tennis, and skiing, who suffered from simple or compound astigmatism turned to Dr. Appiotti for laser surgery with the TLCT technique. This technique obtains a final vision higher than 10/10 with an overall improvement of the five fundamental elements of visual acuity: dynamic visual acuity, quick glance perception, ocular movements, peripheral vision, eye-hand/eye-foot coordination. |

| Dynamic visual acuity is the capacity to clearly see the objects in movement, in other words, distinguishing the sharpness of the fine details of objects being observed while they are in movement or while a person is running, jumping, etc. Visual acuity is the ability to follow an object in movement, receive fundamental information from this movement and make instantaneous decisions on the basis of these observations. Many basketball, volleyball, baseball, and soccer athletes, once operated with the TLCT improved this capacity in a remarkable way, reducing risks of muscular damage and accidents. |

| Quick glance: is the ability to elaborate diverse information simultaneously, being able to asses multiple targets without needing to pause on each information to investigate it. Quick glance vision is fundamental in team sports (soccer, rugby, basketball) and often, contact lenses in shifting from the center of the eye, penalize this aspect. In the post TLCT tests, many soccer players showed great improvement in sensitivity and an almost doubled rapidity in simultaneous perception of multiple information. |

| Ocular movement is the capacity to move the eyes rapidly, which is greatly advantageous and useful for both dynamic visual acuity and peripheral vision. It is particularly important in sports movements such as soccer, but also in tennis, baseball, athletics or target-shooting sports. The consequences of TLCT treatments are also seen in the increased speed of reaction of eyes without correction (glasses and/or contact lenses) for the assessment of obstacles and objects, which is fundamental in sports like soccer, volleyball, basketball, hockey. |

| Peripheral vision is the capacity to see objects that stand at the borders of the visual field. In situations that call for great attention (such as competitions) the visual field tends to be more limited when eyeglasses and/or contact lenses are used, since the correction of visual defects is often less precise in the lateral zones. Peripheral vision moreover plays an important role in maintaining posture equilibrium. Thanks to the decisive techniques of TLCT one is able to see the objects within a wider visual field, an ability fundamental to team sports. |

| When sports professionals decide to undergo refractive surgery (to eliminate eyeglasses and contact lenses) not only their visual defects are first carefully evaluated but also the general conditions of their visual functions, so that surgery may optimize the quality of visual images. |
