– Do you have vision problems?
– Yes, I have minus 2.5, I run with day lenses. Last year I was going to do a laser correction, but they told me that my eyes were still growing, so the operation can’t be done now. If this is done, the vision will still fall, as the eye will grow. The operation would be useless. This year, I plan to take an exam again at the FMBA.
Is it difficult to run with contact lenses?
No, it does not cause any discomfort. Many athletes run there.
What about shooting?
– I always thought that in biathlon everyone shoots with excellent sight, and I always said: “What kind of biathlon for me, I can’t even see a target with my sight.” But biathletes laughed at my statements, because many run into lenses, Shevchenko told .
