FORT STEWART - Capt. Jon Gills used to be as blind as a bat.
 
Contact lenses were nice, but his Army schedule wasn’t always convenient for the constant cycle of removing, rinsing, cleaning and reapplying.
 
“Basically, because of training, it forces you to wear glasses,” Gills said.

While he might not have been wearing those awkward, military-issued “BCGs” - birth control glasses, a popular nickname for the thick faux tortoise frames the U.S. armed forces have issued over the years - the glasses were still enough of a hassle for the junior officer to seriously consider elective eye surgery to correct his vision.

I spoke to left-hander Brian Burres…and he said that he had gotten LASIK eye surgery earlier this offseason.  Burres, who was miffed by his struggles last year, knows that his location will have to be far better to maintain a major league roster spot in ’09.  But being able to see the cather’s signs won’t hurt either.  He admitted that his vision was so bad last year that his catcher at times had to use different signs so he’d be able to see them.
