Stuart Bingham is gearing up for eye surgery to enhance his performance in professional snooker. The former world champion, now ranked 21st globally, is scheduled for a lens replacement procedure this month in hopes of extending his career at the top level. Following a recent defeat at the Saudi Arabia Snooker Masters, where he fell short in a tight match, Bingham expressed his decision to address his worsening eyesight after exhausting other options.
The seasoned snooker player, known for his impressive record, has prioritized his health and well-being, shedding weight and making adjustments to his game. Bingham is optimistic that improving his vision will rejuvenate his skills on the snooker table, despite some skepticism from fellow player Judd Trump.
Acknowledging his struggles with eyesight deterioration and its impact on his confidence, Bingham views the surgery as a potential turning point in his career. He remains hopeful that this intervention will not only benefit his performance in snooker but also enhance his overall quality of life. Despite facing challenges this season and experimenting with a new cue, Bingham is determined to regain his form and confidence on the table.
Additionally, Bingham has grappled with performance issues, seeking assistance from a hypnotherapist to overcome the yips, a common problem among snooker players affecting their consistency and technique. Reflecting on his recent matches, Bingham remains optimistic about his progress and the potential for improvement in his game.
