Maybe it was so gradual that he didn't realize it and no one told him. I can't imagine the team Dr's didn't, but who knows and maybe he's just uncomfortable with eye procedures. I've known a few folks like that over the years.I just do NOT understand why it took him this long to get it done. I had the same problem in highschool and it definitely affected my ability to perform. I took out a loan in my 20s to get this fixed before a deployment to Iraq because I recognised it as an issue. Is he that stubborn to wait this long?
