So I Can See But, I Can't.
After being diagnosed with Choroidal Melanoma, (yes the Eye Guy with the Eye Problem) I underwent a procedure that radiated the tumor. Six months post op I am told that I am 20/20. Pretty good, right?
Now I can see enough to get away with everyday life and enjoy it.
But I can't see.
I can play catch, I can shoot a basket, I can hit a ball and I can kick a ball
But I can't see.
Like many athletes I don't like to be told I can't. So when the show me white/black letters in a small room. I can make them out.
But I can't see.
I am 20/20
But I can't see.
It is easy to see from the couch, or the stands
But I can't see.
To get in the net, to step in the box, to score a touchdown at I high level I MUST see
and I can't
Seeing in sport is not all about being 20/20. Its the ability to process visual information and react with the appropriate action.
What I can't see is high level change in velocity, I can't see accurate depth, I can't see HD detail. All that is important to being a efficient and excellent athlete.

In my case I will not have the vision restored to compete at a high level nor do I need to. But for athletes out there that are trying to make it to a high level this feature is trainable.( assuming no visual problems).
Aspiring athletes train their body why are they not training their visual skills?
