It sounds weird, but you can spar and do a lot of drills with shítty eyesight.

I have 20/400 near-sighted vision, but with contacts it's corrected to 20/20.

However, getting hit in the fúcking eye every so often during hard sparring can present a problem for contacts wearers, so I often removed them before sparring and bag drills.

I quickly learned that eyesight isn't everything. As long as I could see the shape of my opponent and the location of his head, I could land punches.

One thing that motivated me was watching Floyd hit pads with Roger, sometimes closing his eyes while doing so. I would have thought it was impossible, but I was in the gym doing it a week later. It's easier than one would think, as long as you know your combos by heart.
