Some of them are "glasses men" like Hu Kai, Fan Bin and Wang Yifu, and some are like Guo Jingjing, Hu Weidong and Xing Huina. If not, no one really knows that their eyesight is also average. Myopia is more or less true for these athletes.
Our training and competition have brought some troubles.
Retinal detachment "ashore" for two months
Guo Jingjing had an operation.
Some medical experts pointed out that countless dives will cause the impact of water flow on the head, especially for fragile eyes. The impact on the retina will not only cause vision loss, but also lead to blindness. Many divers have eye diseases, including Guo Jingjing who had eye surgery.
200 1 65438+2 At the end of February, the diving team conducted an annual routine eye examination, and Guo Jingjing's right eye was found to have a slight retinal detachment. The next day, she was admitted to the hospital. On the third day, she underwent surgery to reduce tears in her right eye. "At that time, the operation was very successful, but I was scared before the operation, and then it was particularly painful. It has been hurting for two weeks, which makes me very hurt. " Recalling that "painful" experience, Guo Jingjing still felt scared. The operation forced Guo Jingjing to "go ashore" and rest for two months.
Two years later, the doctor found that her left eye was not good either, which was a congenital retinal variation. Fortunately, in the reexamination at the end of 2004, the doctor told Guo Jingjing that her right eye healed well and her left eye did not affect her movements.
Guo Jingjing's naked eye vision is only 0.2, and she usually wears a pair of glasses. When diving, she could hardly feel it. "I can't see clearly standing on the springboard. All by feeling. " Guo Jingjing said, "I've been dancing this routine for 10 years, and I'm still quite sure."
Guo Jingjing disagreed with the statement that diving is harmful to the eyes: "I think this statement is not completely correct, because many athletes have been diving all their lives and their eyes are fine. There is no problem in Fu Mingxia and Xiong Ni. "
Guo Jingjing's teammate Wang Feng also told reporters that there was nothing wrong with his eyes. "This kind of thing varies from person to person." Wang Feng said.
A sharpshooter doesn't necessarily need superhuman vision.
Wang Yifu dare not play CS.
In people's impression, a sharpshooter with bullets must have sharp eyes, but there are many shortsighted sharpshooters in China shooting team, and veteran Wang Yifu is the most serious one.
Every time the trigger is pulled and the gun goes off, Wang Yifu can feel how many rounds the bullet has hit. That doesn't depend on eyesight. It is said that all the excellent athletes of the national team have this kind of "kung fu".
Wang Yifu told reporters that even for athletes with good eyesight, the black bull's-eye within 7 rings on the target paper 50 meters away is only a small black spot in the field of vision. "Shooters only need 0.5 vision," Wang Yifu said. "We aim the gun at the lower edge of the small black spot. If only our eyes could see small black spots. "
Although only 0.5 vision is enough, after the Atlanta Olympic Games, Wang Yifu put on a pair of high myopia glasses, because the binocular vision is declining, and now it has dropped to 0. 1. If you don't wear glasses, Wang Yifu can hardly see the people coming across.
"The eye thing bothers me the most! From 1.5 to 0. 1. Now I force myself not to watch TV or play computer, and try to rest my eyes. Look at those children playing CS (computer game "Counter-Terrorism Elite"). If I join, I must be a master! " Wang Yifu said regretfully, "But think about it or forget it. I have to keep an eye on it. "
Myopia has been used to since childhood and does not affect training and competition.
"Glasses Man" is not worried about glasses.
It is hard to imagine that a person with 500-degree myopia can gallop on the track with short-sighted glasses, but Hu Kai did it. Hu Kai, a student from Tsinghua, won the first place in the new course 100 meter with a score of 10.30 seconds at the Turkish University Games last year. Because he has a pair of glasses on his nose, the media nicknamed him "Glasses Man".
Glasses are the symbol of Hu Kai. Hu Kai told reporters that he had answered such a question in an interview with foreign media: "Why do you always wear a pair of glasses to participate in the competition? Is it to show your identity as a student in Tsinghua? " In this regard, Hu Kai's explanation is: "No, my myopia is 500 degrees and 575 degrees, so I have to wear glasses. But I have trachoma in my eyes and am not suitable for wearing contact lenses, so I have to wear frame glasses. "
Hu Kai said that he has been wearing glasses since the first day he started practicing track and field, and he hasn't felt any inconvenience so far. The glasses on his nose are not professional sports goggles.
Hu Kai doesn't care, but others often worry about him. Regarding the glasses on her son's nose, Hu Kai's mother once said, "I'm afraid, too. I'm afraid I'll fall off if I run so fast. It's strange that it has never fallen. "
When a reporter asked Hu Kai if he was nearsighted because he read too many books when he was a child, Hu Kai's mother smiled and said, "Maybe. He really loved reading since he was a child, and his posture was wrong. "
Hu Kai said that he couldn't take off the nearsighted glasses on his nose if he wanted to. "I can't see clearly without wearing it, and it really doesn't affect my play."

God pitcher can't see the basket clearly, and the astigmatism is too serious to wear glasses.
Hu Weidong's three-point long-range shot is all based on talent.
Hu Weidong, now the head coach of Jiangsu Nangang Team, is known as Jordan of China. Besides excellent bounce and sharp breakthrough, Khufu's deadliest weapon is a god-like three-point long shot. But when someone asked him how he practiced long-range shooting golden eye, Hu smiled, because he didn't look at the basket when shooting, and he was nearsighted and astigmatism, so he couldn't see the basket at all.
"Myopia is not serious, 100 degrees, but astigmatism is 450 degrees, and there are ghosts in the basket." Hu Weidong said with a smile that defense depends on training and attack depends on talent. Because I can't see clearly, I simply don't look at the basket when shooting. "I tried to wear glasses like Fan Bin, but my astigmatism is too serious and my glasses are dizzy. Forget it."
Now, Hu Weidong has become the head coach of Nangang, and he doesn't have to experience fierce confrontation on the court. He can finally sit in a military tent with glasses on. Only by wearing glasses can he see clearly the performance of his disciples on the court.
Fan Bin mentioned by Hu Weidong is also a famous "big myopia" in basketball. Now both of them have retired and become elegant "Confucian handsome" wearing gold-rimmed glasses on the sidelines. Fan Bin, 400-degree myopia, wore contact lenses to play ball in his early years. Later, his friend gave him a pair of sports glasses, which made him a famous "glasses man" in CBA.
From the then "Jabbar" Jabbar to the current magic substitute.
There are many "glasses superstars" in the NBA across the ocean.
If traced back to the source, the most famous "Glasses Man" on the basketball court may be the legendary NBA center kareem abdul-jabbar. The hall of fame center with sports glasses is famous for his long-distance hook shooting. He has won six championships in his career, with a total score of 38,387 points.
The first man with glasses on the basketball court was george mikan, a big white man who was active in the 1940s and 1950s. He is recognized as the first real center and the first superstar in NBA history. However, due to his high myopia, McCann had to wear a pair of thick glasses to enter the league, and he also got a nickname-the gentle giant with glasses.
The NBA glasses player most familiar to China fans is Horace Grant, who is the power forward of the Bulls and helped Jordan. The defensive expert known as Cobra helped Jordan win the Bulls' first "three consecutive championships".
Now there are only a handful of real opticians in the NBA. Bo outlaw, a veteran who played as a substitute in Magic last season, is one of the few "glasses men" among active players.
I can't see the coach's command clearly outside the game.
Xing Huina regards his teammates as "eyes"
Anyone who is familiar with Xing Huina knows that Olympic champions are actually nearsighted, which is about two or three hundred degrees. It is even reported that Xing Huina was once "out of control" in the World Championships because it was difficult to see the direction of coach Wang Dexian during the competition.
"I once bought a pair of contact lenses before the Olympics." Xing Huina said, "But I don't feel comfortable, so I won't wear it."
Although we can't see the coach on the sidelines in the game, Xing Huina has his own way. "Before the game, the coach will tell us the tactics executed in the game, and we just have to follow them. Besides, I have Sun Yingjie with me. Her eyesight is very good. As long as she can see the coach's instructions in the game, I will know. "
Now, Xing Huina's teammate Sun Yingjie and coach Wang Dexian have been suspended, and it is still unknown where Xing Huina will learn from them. Without Sun Yingjie's "eye", Xing Huina would have been in a lot of trouble. Text/Reporter Zhang Ying

It can protect the brow bone and temples.
Goggles solve problems
Sports glasses worn by NBA stars are not out of reach for us. 200 1, RecSpecs brand goggles landed in the domestic market.
This kind of glasses not only avoids the shortcoming that ordinary glasses are fragile in sports, but also protects the eyebrow bone and temple which are easily injured.
At present, sports goggles are likely to replace contact lenses on the court.
