It's obviously bad enough to defend his UFC title against one of the best fighter in the world.

Andrei Orlavski, seriously??? You must be as fucked up as I am right now, you normally come better bro.
 
I'm not sure how it effected his performance tonight but I think this is a decent question.

Benson Henderson had poor vision and spoke about it

“It’s not very good, my vision,” said Henderson. “I can (my opponents) far away as a blur, but the closer they get, if I squint, I can see them more clearly.

“With the years of wrestling, once I have my hand on somebody, I can feel them pretty well, where you need to see. But as far as boxing and kickboxing-wise, it did take me a long time to get used to it, to really see the punches coming. It took me a while to get adjusted and really see it coming, but I do the best I can. I see a general blur, once they get within range, I see enough to avoid the punches and all that.”
 
Those are old school style glasses. They were gushing over the frames which actually tell you nothing. You have to look and how much of a curve and how thick the lenses are, which is impossible to do during a walkout lol

haha, you can wonder, for sure...But the guy is CHAMP, and just whooped the top contender, so I'm not sure what else needs to be proven?

Interesting cuz this also affected myself in the same way when boxing and having problems seeing the early movements and wasting unnecessary energy and focus someone with good vision wouldn't have to
 
No really, before i had LASIK i couldnt see in striking range ect was a real problem lol

And i have sparred with guys wearing contacts and punched their contacts out of their eyes lol and they have to stop and pick them up ect
