The Athletic’s Marcus Thompson, a true Bay Area legend in the sports journalism game, dropped a bombshell about Steph Curry.
Curry has spent the majority of his life with a vision impairment that he recently had corrected via contacts.
“For all of his career, his life even, Curry has had issues with his eyes. He said he has a condition called Keratoconus, known in the ophthalmology field as KC. Technically, it’s an eye disease in which the cornea, normally a circle, progressively thins and takes on a cone shape.
This distortion has given Curry what is known as an astigmatism, which is a type of error in the way the light bends when entering the eye.
