Many people don’t know that UTSA quarterback Frank Harris struggled with poor vision his entire life. He wore glasses and contacts since he was five years old and suffered from severe astigmatism.

Even battling vision problems he was able to play the sport he loves. At Clemens High School, before coming to UTSA, instead of seeing clear images, they were always blurry, both on and off the field. "For years I struggled with contacts and high astigmatism; I didn’t think I was a candidate for LASIK. When I was in high school, I didn’t wear contacts or glasses on the field. I basically just looked for the big numbers on the jerseys and threw the football to the numbers!”

​​"I guess that I was so used to it, but some things were blurry trying to look too far," he said. "But I was kind of used to it, so I kind of just adapted to it."  

He tried contacts, but he constantly had to adjust them with his fingers to make his eyeball see the football.

"As you can tell in some videos, I would always rub my eyes because they started to get a little blurry," he said.

"You'll often hear about the football analogy... that the eye is shaped like a football," said Dr. Bobby Saenz, director of Parkhurst NuVision Clinic. "What it means with astigmatism... it's basically one part of the eye is really curved, and the other one is not so curved."

Earlier this year, Parkhurst NuVision and Harris connected and decided Lasik would massively improve his vision and up his game. Was he nervous on the field? No way! But what about Lasik?

"A little bit. But the doctors are here to take care of me. I'm in good hands, and God will take good care of everything," Harris said.

After less than 10 minutes of LASIK eye surgery, he was done, and just one day later, he was happy about the results.

"The morning after, waking up, and I don't have to wear anything. No contacts. No glasses," he said. "It is just an unbelievable feeling. It's something I've never done since I was about four or five years old."

Dr. Saenz told us: "I think it's going to be even more impressive to see what he's able to do this season since we've been able to treat that astigmatism and watch him have a clear vision on the field."
