Observational study finds weak correlations between visual system function and cognitive skills in elite football players, highlighting complexity.
Binocular vision, vergence, and phoria may influence visuo-cognitive performance in elite football players. Effective binocular coordination and minimal refractive error appear beneficial, whereas esophoria was linked to reduced performance. Although correlations were weak, the findings highlight the multifactorial nature of visuo-cognitive function in sport.
