Visit My Court

tyreke-logoAs an athlete, I know how important vision is so I partnered with VSP to create a website about eye safety for all my fans and athletes out there.  The new site is called ”Tyreke’s Court” and has information on eye safety and eye health, specifically for people who play sports. Visit Tyreke’s Court and let me know what you think!
