    I averaged 195 blind. Dropped to 165 when the eye was fixed. Averaging well above both so far this year though.
    The left eye is permanent. Doctors said they could try to repair it but would be very expensive and extensive rehab. The different parts inside that eye aren't lined up properly. I can see light and can tell something is there, just not what lol

    The right eye is doing great now. It's nice being able to see the foul line, which ball is mine, etc I can even see the logo on the pins. Reading is a pain as I don't use my glasses to read anymore. Since I stopped wearing trifocals to bowl I have been hitting the correct mark more often.

    i would be bowling this season if it was that cheap. Here most of the GOOD leagues are 25-30 but of course bigger prize funds and more money to win during the season in pots brackets love doubles and cut the field ( eliminator). So this season im being the super sub

    I can see the average dropping when you first get your sight back because your readjusting to a different style.

    and no need to spend extreme amounts of money to fix the left eye, especially if they don't know it would definatly work? plus, if it was from birth, it's not like you ever had it working to know what your missing anyway

    Exactly. Plus I would have to re-learn how to do everything due to the depth perception being different.

    Here's the clincher. For volunteering the owner has decided that I get to open bowl for free AND can have all the fountain drinks I want anytime I'm there. That will save me $5 a night in soda alone. He even refunded the money I paid for my September's bowling pass ($25 a month for unlimited open bowling)
