Totally not true! Name me a great player who has/had poor eyesight. In other words, show me a great player who shot through coke bottle glasses and I will then eat crow!
It simply amazes me how you guys with good eyesight take this for granted when shooting pool. Reminds me of a very good player in Charlottsville who said to me: "I wish I had crapy vision like you so that I could wear spectacles, especially the kind that were shaded." At first I though he was kidding and then my mouth dropped when I figured that he was indeed serious.
