amr_01 Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 probably did mess with his depth perception. after awhile of being with bad eye site, your brain adjusts for the depth perception, when he had it corrected, his brain was probably still adjusting. if that makes any sense.

Bearded Kirklander Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 Boone had laser eye surgery a bit back and ever since then he has not only hit poorly, but fielded poorly for the first time in a long, long time. Apparently there are some people close to Brett that are indicating the laser eye surgery may have hindered / damaged / altered his depth perception and that may well be the cause of his problems, particularly in the field. Sounds plausible to me. What about you? If so, I feel bad for the dude. What a way to have to go out. :( Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/354290-did-laser-eye-surgery-ruin-brett-boones-career/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently, it may not be correctable. I don't know how I'd be able to adjust to that after 36 years of living or what not.

Custom Posted August 6, 2005 Share Posted August 6, 2005 Yeah it sucks; he is either having vision trouble or just struggling. He is such a good ball player.

sacrifist Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 Roids wouldn't explain his fielding goofs, I don't think. 586332439[/snapback] no, but his withdraw to roids would. The lack of roids must be always on his mind. On a much more thoughtful note, once the roids wore off and he started sucking it has to be getting to him, hence the fielding errors. Hell, he probly has issues off the field as well with the rotten year he is having Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/354290-did-laser-eye-surgery-ruin-brett-boones-career/#findComment-586353902 Share on other sites More sharing options...
