Question about past eye surgey
I had an eye operation when i was 7 to repair a squint, that left me with double vision, i had 3 further operations to put that right, the last one when i was 18, im now 32.. My question is am i able to compete in combat sports, i have been doing thai boxing for the last 2 yr.

I meant to say combat, not contact.

I don't know too much about contact sports, but regarding your eyes and past surgeries it should be fine to compete. I would recommend full time head protection and protective eyewear, but that may limit your ability in the ring.
