Sweat on Cornea Might Be Hamilton's Problem

The Josh Hamilton of the Rangers has a new explanation for his troubles at the plate. Here's the report from BusinessInsider. "Here’s how he explained it to ESPNDallas.com:

'I've got a good explanation for it. This is as clear as I can make it,' Hamilton said. 'We play at nighttime, sweat — blue eyes, obviously, are harder anyway — but playing at nighttime, you sweat a lot, you wipe your eyes, sweat gets on your cornea and dries overnight. Then, you come out midday the next day and instead of the light going straight through your cornea, it hits the dry sweat and disperses and makes everything brighter.'
To combat the lingering corneal sweat, Hamilton has begun using eyedrops and eyelid scrubs on the night before day games." Read more.
