Stephen Curry

NBA superstar Stephen Curry spent years dominating basketball courts while quietly suffering from keratoconus, a progressive eye disease where the cornea thins and changes into a cone shape, causing severe blurriness. After finally getting specialised contact lenses to correct his eyesight, the Golden State Warriors star noted the immediate shift in his shooting, stating in a post-game interview: "I had gotten so used to squinting... It’s like a whole new world opened up."
