Valentín Guzmán to Try Experimental Eye Surgery Friday, November 29th, 2030 The Atlanta has announced that left fielder, Valentín Guzmán, has elected to undergo an experimental -- and potentially dangerous -- eye surgery to correct his failing vision. The procedure, which will be performed by world renowned Korean ophthalmologist Seung-soo Kim, has yet to be performed on a human being. Dr. Kim is quoted as saying, "We've performed the surgery -- successfully I might add -- on rats, several pigs, and, most recently, a rhesus monkey." Due to pronounced astigmatism, the more common LASIK eye surgery is not possible for Guzmán. "I really feel like this is my last option. I've progressed as much as I can given my current vision, and I really want to take my game to the next level," said the 27 year old at yesterday's press conference. Dr. Kim and the team trainers have estimated his recovery at four to six weeks. Provided the surgery goes as planned. |
