"My vision is not the best at all. It does clear the medical quite easy, though, which I'm happy about. I always was quite worried about that when I was a little younger and growing up."
"I need them to get in and out the cage or I'll probably fall over my own feet or miss a step or something like that. The glasses are definitely needed."
"I do feel like if I fight with the glasses on or I have some sorts of contacts, I don't like it. I'd rather the glasses be off. I feel like it's just normal and it's like second nature now."
"One of my coaches, Jason Tan, always says to me, is everyone else seeing too much and I'm seeing just right? So, there's always pros and cons to everything and no one will ever know."
Kurtis Campbell, an undefeated professional fighter, has compromised vision that necessitates wearing glasses. He successfully clears medical evaluations, alleviating his earlier concerns. Campbell requires glasses to navigate the cage safely, as he struggles without them. Interestingly, he prefers fighting without them, as a slightly blurry opponent helps him focus better. He believes this may offer him an advantage, as he feels more in tune with his flow state. Campbell's next fight is scheduled against Danny Silva at UFC London.
