Steve, I saw the same thing last year - you could see that he was finding his way. It's also tough to measure someone's development in statistics alone.

I don't think the eye surgery will effect much at all... actually, I think it may help him out (as CD suggests in his blog). Perhaps it was effecting depth perception and other sorts of things like that.

At the same time, I'm not a doctor (though I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last week. No, really, I did).
