Serious ? for boxers with bad vision. Team USA boxing rules say i can't even compete

section 2- disqualifying conditions:
2.3.5. Refractive(Lasik) and intraocular surgery, cataract, retinal
detachment
2.3.6. Myopia of more than -3.50 diopters in one or both eyes


I KNOW for a fact one of the Charlo brothers got lasik and fights for alphabet titles, so is this just for the amateurs?

I wear contact lenses and my script is like -6.5 and was thinking about getting PRK pretty soon. My trainer and I have discussed going amateur, but now I don't know....

I'm very very passionate about this sport and understand the risks, so at this point is it just skip from the amateurs and take a risk fighting pro? Im not gonna quit b/c my parents passed down poor eyesight to me...

I also have bad eyesight,but I am able to see the punches.

[TheSwiftAsSa5in]

I was allowed to compete in a amateur bout even with poor eyesight.

Do you wear contact lenses or just take them out for the fight?
