Hey, I'm 16 years old and already have a -6 handicap of my sight. (I don't know if its the same numbers in America but so you know: its bad!) It's a handicap from birth that gets worse as long as I grow so I can't really do anything about it. It's the kind were you can't see far objects sharp btw.
I will probably have about -7 or -8 when I stop growing and lenzes are available up to -20 so that's not really a problem, and laser surgery is also available til -8.
My question is if any of you have eye problems and how you solve them with boxing? Do you wear daily contacts in a match or something so that if they fall out its not that much of a waste? Or do you simply fight without? (without lenzes I can't see any details further than like 10 inches...)
Is laser surgery perhaps an option? I was really planning on doing it when I'm 19 or something.
Thanks in advance.
