Tests administered on the sidelines, such as the King-Devick and the Standardized Assessment of Concussions (SAC), require athletes to quickly read numbers or words, or to recall words. Athletes must equal or better their previous baseline test score in a set amount of time to get back into a game — and that is if they are otherwise asymptomatic. "Kids are still not honest. They want to work through it," Herceg said.

Mary Medina, the school’s head athletic trainer gave him the concussion standard ‘King-Devick’ test. “That is a short 32 second test where they read numbers and Oscar was off by a couple seconds,” said Medina. The test measured his ability to think and respond to a series of questions that he’d already taken in the past. Since he already knew the answers, he shouldn’t have had any difficulty; but that wasn’t the case. “We pulled him!” said Medina.

Specifically, we are recommending that the King-DevickTest be performed by all Doctors who work with children, especially Doctors of Optometry to establish baseline for all patients, especially for young children and teens who are at higher risk.

Therefore, knowing that concussions can be identified 100% of the time with the King-Devick Test, here is another question for parents and the public to ask. Why are we not routinely administering the King-Devick Testing on children, 6 years and older, so that their optometric record establishes baseline in saccadic eye movement?

Researchers found the time to complete the test was longer for 79-percent of players who were later found to have a concussion. When combined with other assessments, the sideline test helped diagnose 100-percent of concussions. Experts say using a vision based test on the sidelines may help detect concussions more quickly ... and keep athletes from getting injured further.
