What is your opinion for people who have undergone laser eye surgery and wish to continue boxing? Do you think it is fair to be barred from competing in the sport if you had laser eye treatment? The reason I ask is because the Amateur Boxing Association (ABA) which is the governing body for amateur boxing in the UK automatically bars you from boxing with them if you had laser eye treatment as they do not distinguish between surface or flap treatments. The British Boxing Board of Control (BBBofC) which is the governing body for professional boxing allows professional boxers to compete only if they had surface laser eye treatment (PRK/LASEK). I do not understand why two governing bodies have different guidelines regarding laser eye treatments. I am going challenge ABA policy as I think it is unfair and outdated (2006) that I am barred from the sport I love just because I had LASEK, after the healing period, there is no appreciable difference from a normal eye with regard to injury any ways. USA boxing I think allows laser eye treatment.
if you get this, you can't boxing any trauma would damage your eye badly, if any damage is found by an optometrist they won't pass your licence.
