Just got an email back from the company and they are still going just really busy.
My son and I do vision training drills in the cage. We got this from a trainer that used to work for one of the Arizona D1 college teams. My son is a RH, but we have him take swings off a tee with a patch over one eye (apprx 10 swings) then we move the patch to other eye and repeat. We then move him over to his natural side and do the same. When he starts to become proficient off the tee, we eventual move to soft toss. We always finish up with regular BP. I think the theory behind this is to help develop his weak eye. It seems to work.

I know this is an old topic but I am interested in a vision training program for my son. I went out to baseballeyesite.com and I see the last copy write was in 2007. This thread is from 2006. Is the company still around? Is it still developing training exercises? Any info would be helpful.
There is a company called i trac. They are awesome with developing better vision at the plate in a baseball specific way. Major League hitters use this daily. Here is the web site: www.itracvision.com

Just a question but if the idea is to train the weaker eye why would you do the same amount on both sides. Wouldn't you be better off doing more reps on the non dominant eye? Thx

Good question, don't know if I know the answer other than this is what I was told they did. I guess one can implement more or less reps from either side of the plate and either eye. I think any amount of training is beneficial, but would not know what is optimal. My guess is that it probably varies from player to player.
