Saw a little blurb on Rotoworld I thought I'd pass on, for whatever it's worth.

Titans cornerback Nick Harper could blame his hands for not having more interceptions last season, but the bigger problem was his eyesight.

So Harper did something about it. He hopes the result will be plain for everyone to see.

Harper had Lasik surgery last month to correct his vision. He played all last season without the contacts that were prescribed for him, and he paid for it.

"I can tell a big, big difference. It's like night and day. I couldn't believe I was that blind,'' Harper said with a smile. "Now I should be able to catch some of those balls I dropped. That might've cost me going to the Pro Bowl. I think I dropped seven interceptions last year.''.....

Didn't that Minny receiver who went to Jax get Lasik a year, or so, ago?

I wouldn't put much stock into this. What pro athlete plays their sport without contact lenses? I don't believe him if he is saying he played without them. I can't think of one reason not to use them. Seems to me he is making an excuse for his play. I don't doubt that he had Lasik, however, I would say that it isn't going to translate into anything different on the field.

I still remember when Robert Ferguson was supposed to turn the corner because he got Lasik. That worked out well.
