This past spring, Dr. Robert Maloney and staff traveled to Glendale, AZ to perform Vision Screenings on over 100 baseball players for the Los Angeles Dodgers and their 5 minor league teams.
"Professional baseball players demand better vision than any other sport. The ability to read pitches, locate fly balls against a bright sky, or quickly react to streaking line drives is critical to the team's success. Our goal was to ensure that every player stepped on the field this season with 20/20 vision or better."
