Brief Summary  
To evaluate the visual skill proficiency among badminton players and non-athletes through a structured assessment of multiple visual functions.

To assess and compare dynamic visual acuity using Dynamic Visual Acuity Chart.
To assess and compare DCS using motion based  Dynamic Contrast Sensitivity Chart.  
To evaluate and compare depth perception using Titmus Fly Test
To assess and compare peripheral awareness -MacDonald Form Field Recognition Card
To assess and compare eye–hand coordination using validated manual -Wall Toss test. 

then Statistical analysis is performed to compare visual skills  between athletes (badminton players) and non-athletes.
