Atlanta Brave's Uggla's vision has improved since LASIK Surgery


So far, the LASIK appears to have been successful. "The little things, I've noticed," Uggla said. "I can see a lot more clear."



Correcting his vision is only half the battle. Uggla said he still needs to fix his swing and his timing before he starts hitting the way he wants to, but having improved vision should make that easier. "I've still got to do it physically," Uggla said. "Just getting my eyes fixed, it's not just going to cure everything." Atlanta manager Fredi Gonzalez said on Tuesday that Uggla will likely be examined by team doctors once more before Uggla plays in a rehab game.
