Can you wear contacts in the ring? Because i see people like mayweather, holmes, frazier and many other boxers have problems with their eyes. If you have bad eyes what can you do about it, in the ring?

Thats a question ive always wondered about.....I cant imagine someone boxing with contacts on.

same here theres no way u can wear em in the ring

i saw an amateur fight and a dude was wearing contacts and his contact fell out in the ring then he couldnt see well and the fight was stopped.
I dont think you can really take boxing serious if you need contacts.
But there is always laser surgery and its pretty inexpensive.

Have you thought about laser surgery to improve your eyes?

There is no way in hell you can be a boxer if you can't see well. You'll be in a fight sooner or later and your contacts would get knocked out and then you'd be knocked out soon afterward.

If you are near sighted it wont really matter but if u cant see well within several feet your gonna get ****ed up. :eek:

I'm far sighted and i don't really need contact iáint wear any i can fight without, but say if your eyes get worse, and you can see everything comming good, or it's too much of a blur you've got a problem. how expensive is a lasertreatment?

I don't know the exact figure, but I know it's expensive and it's risky in some cases. You have to be very careful.

keep in mind laser treatment doesnt always work. So it might just be money down the drain.

I saw it one time on tv they where treating jessica simpson, and it worked, the chances that it fails are slim, but i'll do some research, costs, chance that it fails etc. altough i don't need it now you never know if you eyes worsen.

The contacts might cause damge to your eyes!

I know someone who was completely blind in one eye, and now can only detect light in the other and would know if someone walking before them is a girl or a boy, but when they asked about laser surgery the doctor said it's too much of a risk under those circumstances, because there is a chance she could end up being completely blind.

I couldn't imagine losing one of my senses..

its just too dangerus they can get knocked out
btu a good hit, imagine having one on and the otherone off
it would give you a headache and you will still need to fight.

Cost for Lasik or Photorefractive Keratotomy(PRK) is 500-1000 per eye. The old method, called refractive keratotomy(RK) is no longer recommended for fighters because of the ability of your cornea to pop.
Chances that it doesnt work are VERY SLIM these days. Downside is that you won't be able to fight for a few months, during the much needed healing time.

I've boxed with contacts before, it never reall bothered me. I only had 1 time where the contact came out, but i just continued fighting, wasnt a big deal

Ive also noticed that color contacts are more likely to fall out that clear ones
