Where do I buy glasses?
You can accomplish this in a variety of ways. Our preferred partner is Fatheadz at https://www.fatheadzeyewear.com.
If you prefer to shop somewhere else, you can accomplish this through warbyparker.com, zenni.com, or go into a brick-and-mortar store to try on different frames and lenses. Examples of these would be private practices or corporate optometry places, such as LensCrafters.
Where do I buy contact lenses?
You can purchase your contact lenses through www.warbyparker.com, www.vistakon.com, www.coopervision.com, www.1800contacts.com, or through a brick-and-mortar store such as a private practice or corporate optometry office, such as LensCrafters.

How long does training take?
This is a difficult question to answer. Some people want to do training only 1 time per month, some only want to do 10 sessions total, some want to continue training for their entire competitive sport. Dr. LaPlaca believes that this type of training should be incorporated into everybody’s training in some fashion. Depending on your level, we can adjust the amount of training per week/month.
How long is each session?
Each in-office training session lasts 45 minutes.
How long before I notice results?
Typical results will vary. Most athletes notice marked results within 3-4 months. There will be an “aha” moment where something previously unable to be accomplished is credited to sports vision training.
Why do Ares Academy and D1 Training members get discounted rates?
Ares Elite Sports Vision believes in an entire wellness program to achieve the greatest results possible for our athletes. There are certain things each program is best at accomplishing. Ares Academy allows athletes to achieve large amounts of vision training at home on their own time. D1 training helps athletes perform at their physical peak. The in-office training allows Dr. LaPlaca to better monitor your personal progress and adjust your training as your visual system dictates. We are dedicated to creating the best athletes in the state of Indiana and the United States.
Do you do traditional eye examinations?
Yes! Dr. LaPlaca is able to provide regular, annual eye exams for any patient, athlete or not, in our office.
