Santos FC's squad went through an eye examination today,
at the same clinic we have been doing it for the past few years.
Several routine tests were performed,
all of them according to FIFA and CBF Evaluation System.
Five tests were performed,
such as retina analysis, by Dr. Celso Afonso, a specialist,
color sensitivity test,
to check if they have any problems distinguishing colors,
there are diseases related to cells sensitive to certain pigments,
visual field measurement, to evaluate their peripheral vision,
which is crucial especially to goalkeepers,
but also to players in general,
corneal topography and ocular response analysis,
which gives us a wide analysis on the corneal reflex.
Usually we do not face any ocular problems,
except for one or two athletes, who are treated immediately,
some of them have to use contact lenses,
once it's hard for athletes to wear glasses,
the contact lenses are given at the clinic.
It is a quite complete battery of tests,
performed to check if there are any eye problems or diseases
that could interfere in their performance.
