McIlroy undergoes laser eye surgery, posts photo

Rory McIlroy set his sights on a sharper 2016 after announcing that he underwent laser eye surgery this week.

Here is what McIlroy, who has relied on contact lenses throughout his career, posted on Thursday:

Most patients recover quickly from the surgery and report clear vision after about six months.

Tiger Woods underwent his first Lasik eye surgery in 1999 and had a follow-up procedure about eight years later.

It seems this is a popular time of year for players to perform some maintenance. Henrik Stenson posted a photo Wednesday before he underwent a minor knee surgery.
