(Belcher’s recovery from adetached retina isn’t going well, according to his wife.)
UFC middleweight Alan Belcher underwent a second surgery on his right eye Wednesday to repair a detached retina he thinks he suffered in training, and according to his wife, Ashlee, who sent out a few Twitter updates on "The Talent’s" day under the knife, his vision still isn’t where it should be.
Ashlee said that the next few weeks of healing are crucial in the prognosis of the injury.
According to WebMD, an injury like Belcher’s always results in at least some vision loss, but in most cases patients who undergo the necessary surgery immediately have a better chance of recovering the majority of their sight.
Alan, who was forced to pull out of a September 15 bout with Demian Maia, stated in an interview with PureFight that he didn’t realize the extent of his injury right away and may have exasperated the affliction by flying to and from Brazil to train. Because the fluid in the eye is pressurized, a microscopic retinal tear, that may have healed on its own could have worsened due to the altitude-induced pressure.

When did Belcher drop down to welterweight?
Thu, 09/02/10 - 09:48
Man, shit with they eyes sucks! Best of luck Alan,that is all.
Thu, 09/02/10 - 09:54
Welterweight? Anyway, I hope this isn't a career ending injury for the guy. Prayers are def with him and his family.
Thu, 09/02/10 - 09:58
I wish Allen and Johny all the best.

That eye seriously looks like one of the eyes on "Cuato" from Total Recall. Trippy.
Thu, 09/02/10 - 10:12
Marcus Davis can show him what a real eye injury looks like.
Thu, 09/02/10 - 10:25
Good luck to Alan. Eye injuries like that are about the only thing that make me queezy in this sport.

Thu, 09/02/10 - 11:50
Looks like he's got the rage virus... that's not good at all.
Thu, 09/02/10 - 12:35
Sucks. He's a great fighter, and a great fighter to watch. Here's hoping he gets back to it soon.
Thu, 09/02/10 - 01:51
get well soon Alan.
Thu, 09/02/10 - 03:22
how is it that I know more about retinal tears than the fucking dumb fucking Brazilian doctor who told him to hop on a plane back to the U.S. to get surgery?
Thu, 09/02/10 - 03:23
Atleast he has something to take the attention off that dreadful tattoo now tho. I hope he makes a full recovery as well.
Thu, 09/02/10 - 04:29
I met both Alan and Ashlee a couple of years back, right before the Herman fight. Truly awesome people... hope Alan gets back in the ring soon. Always fun to watch fight.
Thu, 09/02/10 - 05:53
