Overview
- Curry disclosed Wednesday that doctors diagnosed him in 2018 with keratoconus, a rare corneal condition that caused blurriness and distorted images.
- He said then‑Warriors general manager Bob Myers urged him to get checked after noticing Curry squinting on a telecast, which prompted the eye exam and diagnosis.
- Curry was not a surgical candidate so he began wearing specialized contact lenses and now visits an optometrist every six months for monitoring and care.
- The revelation reframes his career because many of his championships and MVP seasons occurred while he was compensating for impaired vision on the court.
- Fans and media have reacted with surprise and praise, and reporting notes Curry is entering the final year of his contract with extension talks ongoing that he says will not affect his play.
