Hopefully.

I heard not only was he clinically blind, his nose was obstructed and he couldn't smell hardly anything. When they went in for the eyes, they also fixed his smelling. Now he will be able to smell those blitzes from 20 yards away. This is huge.

Study one time determine MJ had phenomenal vision and especially peripheral vision. One reason he appeared to be so quick. He simply saw things before everyone else did.

Emery will be star player.

Not strictly correct. 20/20 vision means that you can see objects 20 feet away from you as though a regular person sees objects 20 feet away.
Isn't that kind of like saying "you don't have perfect vision unless you can see through walls"?
At no point in the history of the world have I heard of a single case of "better" than 20/20 vision. And you correctly outlined the reasons having something "better" than 20/20 would change depth of perception which, if one thinks about it, could actually cause more complications than advantages. If your vision is over magnified, objects close to you will be out of focus. Hence why I stated that 20/20 is "perfect" vision. There needs to be a proper balance. If people want to argue over semantics that don't change the original point, then I guess they have to disagree about something to be happy.
I'm astounded by the downvoters, and their lack of critical thought.

You couldn't be more wrong. At one time my vision was corrected to 20/15 with contacts and had the best season ever playing 3rd base in slow pitch ball. Wasn't obvious to me but could see the ball much better and depth perception not affected. Think I had one error all season which I attributed mainly to enhanced vision.
More recently after cataract surgery vision was also 20/15 for a while. About 20/20 now

I had a buddy in high school that hit over .325, made all district a couple of years. all through high school Nobody knew how bad his eyes were, till mid senior year. He couldn't read the scoreboard from third base.

I’m astounded that he explained it so well and you still don’t get it. 20/20 is not “perfect” vision. It is considered “normal” vision.

perfect vision now.
If he was actually clinically blind then LASIK may not completely give him perfect vision. My son is clinically blind and nothing can help that much.
I know there are a lot of different things that can cause someone to have vision deficits so LASIK may have been all he needed.
Does anyone know if his sight is 20/20 now or does he still have some sight deficit?
It would be wonderful if the surgery did completely correct his sight.

Hopefully it helps him remember the plays

Dwayne Bowe was similar. Came back and was a different player. Sight definitely helpful in football....

That I amazing; considering some of they DBs he junked out their jocks!

Lol I’m an optometrist guys. Y’all can ask me any eye questions y’all have.
Seems like he has had one weaker eye for a while now. That can really mess with depth perception. Our brain loves when both eyes can work together (binocularity). I’m sure this will impact his play on the field for sure. He has worn a special contact (most likely RGP or scleral) for that eye but who knows how much of his vision was actually correctable. Amblyopia comes into play as well. Hopefully his vision is much better now and will impact his play on the field.
