    Hi everyone,

    Sorry if this has already been asked a hundred times before, but I wanted an awnser specific to my situation.

    Basically, I suffer from semi-bad short sightedness. My prescription is -2.75 in the left eye and -4 in the right eye.

    When I spar I can see fine, and when I'm shadow boxing I can see punches quite clearly from at least a boxing rings length a way.... I can confidently say I have no problems with it.

    If I wanted to compete under ABA rules, would I fail a medical?

    Many thanks!

    Here's something from the rules book:

    I don't know how it is in the UK, but in other countries you can always find doctors who don't go through the medical examination so seriously.
