Optometrists (and intros case, not ophthalmologists) who specialize in "Vision Therapy" can assess the numerous "trainable" variable involved in efficient vision. Then, they can define which elements are the least efficient in your specific case. Then, those specific elements can be trained.
I'll definitely start doing this. My eyesight requires me to wear varifocal lenses now. The up and down excersise is a non starter for me as the focus goes way out. The rest of them are great.
Also, if you get a headache, dizzy or nauseous you probably have a concussion that needs medical attention. We use these exercises as a screening tool in the clinic for occulomotor deficits associated with mTBI.
Hunter I have to ask everywhere I look I find pointers and proper sight alignment what to look for or how to do this but what I'm looking for is when shooting with iron sights in a compatition how and what am I doing to first hit target I'm aiming at and just how am I doing this to hit A shots or even C or D shots do you have any pointers or suggestions. I'm new to USPSA shooting which I'm extremely excited about I do alot of dry fireing and go to range but living in Tampa there are no ranges that allow you to you know practice in real time as if you were shooting a match . There are a few places that run USPSA matches but you can't shoot or practice moving around shooting at targets like you would in a match heck you can't even practice Draw . Sorry for rambling on was just hoping you might post something on just how to go about shooting and acquiring targets and getting hits while using an iron sight only handgun. Thanks hunter you've been a huge inspiration and ambassador to this sport Thank you again your bud Chris from Tampa
I wear contacts for astigmatism especially during live fire. But during dry fire I usually wear nothing. Is there a recommendation if I should wear them or not for these exercises?
I have a similar situation and I'm also cross eyed dominant. Hunter any specific training you've done to assist with cross eye issues? Practicing these drills I find it hard to see 1 picture with both eyes open. Think I should just practice these drills more?
It’s honestly the shirt + 140mm base pads. I legit have use a P365 or G43 with that shirt cause it’s too tight and too thin. Clothing matters when carrying in public
I am both a Board Certified Neuro-Ophthalmologist and Board Certified /Residency-trained optometrist. I am only an expert-class shooter, BUT, burying the truth in a series of lies is one of the best tricks of the devil. This dude, a likely con-man, has no true idea of what he's professing. He clearly doesn't know what he doesn't know. Pencil push-up, saccade "practice", and accommodative testing are affected by so many other variables as to make his suppositions horribly absurd. I'd be happy to explain! Sorry to be so direst.#bugus
I thought this was going to more on the line of Building Shooters. Don't think he is a con man but maybe learned something and than extrapolated beyond his knowledge. Curious what eye exercises you would recommend.......ski

I know this is 6 months old but yea, this reminded me so much of the ramblings of Travis Haley and his “teachings” that just come off as a bunch of scientific jargon. I’d love to see Matt Pranka and Ben Stoeger interview him 😂
@@hiddyboy101 Thanks for your question. First, I would schedule an appointment with an optometrist (an O.D.) that SPECIALIZES in VISION THERAPY ("VT"); this sort of visual performance assessment & treatment is not within the scopes of ophthalmology or neuro-ophthalmology (both are M.D.s). In "VT", visual performances factors like phobias, ductions, positive and negative fusional reserves, accommodative spasm, saccade speed, accuracy of saccades, etc., etc. are measured. The results can be compared to those of high visual performers, and any of the specific deficiencies (IF any) can be identified and usually improved. If you happen to be in the same general area of an optometry school (Google Optometry Schools Near Me), that is a good option. Also, google "Vision Therapy Optometrists Near Me"; that's another good resource.
Thanks for having me on Hunter! Great to see the sport grow and to be able to help add more human performance elements in for shooters!
You’re welcome man! It’s always a pleasure having you around. Everyone reading this. Click Tony’s name. Go subscribe to his channel.
@@hunter-constantineWow this was so cool. Very good practice for your brain.
Thanks for having Tony on this channel. This is the info that real shooters are looking for.
I have been searching for functional eye exercises to help speed up my transitions and to train my eyes.... My goodness thank you!!! 🙏
Badaboom! I gotchu fam

Neuro athletic coach for tactical athletes. That sounds like a really cool profession.
Tony is a cool dude. He has many wrinkles in his brain.
Gold! thank you both!!!
You’re welcome!
Amazing information! Thank you!
Man... Draw from concealed, 10 rounds (2 different places on target), mag change, plus 3 rounds in another place, in 7 secs... Wow 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
This was really cool! Glad to see more science in the sport!
It’s the next level! PS: I miss you. PPS:H. PPPS: we should have a play date. My mom said you can sleep over.
@@hunter-constantine I'll bring my GameCube!

Thanks for this post
Very interesting.
grateful for content like this that i’ve never studied or applied..stuff i can learn and improve from; solid
You’re welcome man. Tony will open up your mind!
Invaluable advice and tips once again. I hope your channel blows up, dude.
Thank you man! I want to give everyone access to the best information.
I never even knew this was a thing, this is amazing. Thank you for posting this, I gotta start doing eye workouts!
Awesome to do when you’re just sitting around. You can do it any time really. Just work on moving your eyes around focusing on different objects
Always looking for new ways to improve.
Will give this a shot then literally and track progress
Thanks again 💪🏼🇺🇲
Get after it! Glad we could offer something new!
Also, if you get a headache, dizzy or nauseous you probably have a concussion that needs medical attention. We use these exercises as a screening tool in the clinic for occulomotor deficits associated with mTBI.
Good to note!
I was about to write that some of these are diagnostic exercises.
Very cool - I will try these
Today I learned me stimmin with a pencil as a kid was what is used to train your eyesight 😂😂😂 I would always play with my focus
You probably have vision like an eagle
great freakin video. how fast you can see is the biggest limit to shooting speed.
Agreed
Warning..your speed may cause blurred vision… or maybe that’s the Guinness talking 😂🖊️🖊️🍻
Haha!
Similar how Brian Enos explained to train eye focus tracking in 80-90

I’ll include this in a Q&A video i have coming up soon!
I think Ben Stoeger had a video about the near-far focus drill, too. Really interesting stuff.
Yes he does. Tony does an excellent job explaining the why behind a lot of the science. Check out his page to learn more about it.
I wear contacts for astigmatism especially during live fire. But during dry fire I usually wear nothing. Is there a recommendation if I should wear them or not for these exercises?
You should be wearing what you’re shooting in
I have a similar situation and I'm also cross eyed dominant. Hunter any specific training you've done to assist with cross eye issues? Practicing these drills I find it hard to see 1 picture with both eyes open. Think I should just practice these drills more?
Let’s mix this with Tapping The Healer Within and start a cult.
Hope that’s a range gun cause holy printing
