Stuart Bingham is preparing for eye surgery to enhance his snooker career longevity. The former world champion intends to undergo a lens replacement procedure this month to address his declining eyesight. Currently ranked 21st globally, Bingham believes that restoring his vision could prolong his competitive edge following his recent loss in the Saudi Arabia Snooker Masters.
The seasoned snooker player, known for his remarkable skill, has prioritized his health in recent years. Bingham, who trails only a few top players in career maximum breaks, underwent a significant physical transformation earlier this year by shedding weight and adjusting his cue placement.
With hopes that improved eyesight will rejuvenate his performance, Bingham remains optimistic despite a slight jab from fellow player Judd Trump. Acknowledging his deteriorating vision over the past few months, Bingham views the surgery as a potential solution to boost his confidence and gameplay.
In addition to his eye concerns, Bingham has faced challenges with the yips this season, seeking assistance from a hypnotherapist to address the issue. Despite these setbacks, Bingham remains determined to refine his game and regain his confidence on the snooker table.
As Bingham prepares for the upcoming season, the snooker community eagerly awaits his return to form. Sky has also announced exciting updates for the next season, including a discounted TV and Sky Sports bundle with an extensive coverage of live matches across various leagues.
