Australia’s white-ball captain Aaron Finch revealed on Friday that he had experienced “blurry vision” during last year’s IPL in the UAE and underwent eye surgery to correct blurry vision.

So far, the surgery has been a success, yet the 34-year-old believes the true indicator will come when playing under lights, which Australia are set to do in all eight of their fixtures in the Caribbean.

“I noticed it during IPL. One day it just sorts of changed … it was just bloody blurry. In the daytime it wasn’t as noticeable, at night it was more noticeable, especially playing in Dubai where the lighting isn’t as good as what we’ve got in Australia.

“I just noticed it more than, (my eyesight) wasn’t very sharp, and there were little halos around lights and a bit of a trail on the ball.”

“I tried contact (lenses), and couldn’t get them right they just wouldn’t sit right in my eye.”

He said he underwent the surgery after returning from the New Zealand tour (in March

“We thought that was the best time to be able to get it done. It was about a three-week process and it was really smooth.”

With much of Australia’s upcoming cricket set to be played at night, Finch said the true results of his surgery will be borne out.

“I’m seeing them pretty good (now). I’ve only been hitting them indoors on hard wickets. It’s all clear now, it seems perfect.

“I think the biggest test will come in night matches, that’s when I noticed the biggest difference in my eyesight.”
