Stephen Curry reveals keratoconus diagnosis, wears contact lenses
Golden State star Stephen Curry says he has the progressive eye condition keratoconus and that Bob Myers noticed his squinting; lenses restored his clarity on court.
Stephen Curry has keratoconus, a progressive eye condition, and that he has worn contact lenses for some time because his sight was getting worse.
Curry said the problem went unnoticed for a long time.
"Bob Myers texted me after one game, because the broadcast showed me on the bench and he noticed I was constantly squinting. 'It's as if you can't see anything. Have you had your eyes checked? You need to do it urgently, this is not normal.' I was told I had a rare condition, keratoconus, which leads to a blurry and distorted picture."
"So my memoirs will be called 'All This Time I Couldn't See a Thing'," Curry said. "At first I was stubborn. I thought I was used to seeing the rim, even if blurry. But then I got to wearing lenses and found ones that did not get in the way during a game. The lenses restored my vision and sharpened my shooting."
