If this is true i would personally advise against the LASIK, unless you enjoy a good scrapeing of the cornea every so often when the scarring has caused lesions and its not healing up properly, theyre always fun :scaredas:
Isn't it that if you get Lasik you can't get hit in the eye for 10 months or something? Someone told me this but I have no clue if true or not.
You say you love boxing yet are so eager to quit because your contact might fall out? My contacts fall out when I spar sometimes and I have awful vision but that is a horrible excuse to quit man. Anyway, before you spar put re wetting drops in your eyes it seems to help me a lot.
dude if your eyes are seriously bad quit, lamon brewster kept fighting even after being warned about his eyesight many times. HE LOST EYESIGHT IN ONE EYE cause he didnt listen it was too late
everybody i know has told me to quit, even my ohptalmologist (after telling me i had no eye injuries whatsoever after boxing for a year). **** them, i have never had injuries though and had my first amateur fight last month OP make a choice and live with it, if you're posting here its because you feel ashamed and are trying to make excuses for yourself. you didnt really even ask a question, you are just whining. if you don't love boxing enough, thats that, not everybody loves boxing. just don't *****.
Am I correct in assuming that those with poor eyesight that are having amateur fights are fighting unlicensed? I have fairly poor eyesight (-3.75) and failed my medical (the week of a tournament I was meant to be fighting in!) on eyesight. The reason given was increased risk of retinal detachment. I'm interested if there is a way round this that you guys have found - or just fight unlicensed, or get laser surgery.
I was failed on eyesight and had to go to a doctor I knew to pass me. So yes you are correct, In the UK and Ireland at least.
I lose my contacts during sparrings on regular bases, and as a rule during 1st round in fights Sometimes i even like it - adds intensity you know! My eyesight is pretty ****ed by the way -3.75 and -3.25. Use proper headgear, improve defense technique, improve footwork, chin down & hands up. Focus on these for a while, and you will get hit less, as a result minimizing risk of damaging not just eyes but brain too. Bad eyesight is ****ed, people with proper vision are lucky *******s!
Laser surgery is so affordable nowadays. www.ultralase.com/_i/landing/c2o/search/0/0/0/25020/?gclid=CNzirrmstKoCFUtA4QodJwwHzA
