ABSTRACT:
Focus enhancing blinders for usage in sporting activities and other activities that require visual focus and concentration. More particularly, the invention is a perspiration-absorbing headband worn by players of tennis and other sports where hand-eye coordination is critical. In one mode, the headband includes a slot to hold and guide blinders that extend to the areas on the outside of each eye, functioning to block off a previously-determined degree of peripheral vision. This assists a player in the difficult task of keeping his or her visual focus straight ahead and directly on a ball, thus enhancing the user's performance. This also keeps one reading or studying focused on the task at hand. In the preferred mode, the blinders are of a length of one to four inches and are held in place through the usage of Velcro on the inside of the blinders and outside of the headband. In the preferred mode, Velcro is also placed along the ear on both sides past the open slot to hold the blinders. Importantly, the blinders can move out from the slot to cover the peripheral vision as required. The user may utilize both blinders, one blinder, or neither; as the player improves on his or her focus, the blinders can be moved back toward the ear to a point where they are no longer required.
