<p>Baljit, however, said he will have to wait for two-three months more to know the quantum of his complete recovery.<br />"I had a meeting with Dr Robert Morris yesterday. He tested my eyes. I was asked to see natural light with the sun glasses on. I was then tested with equipments for pressure in each eye," Baljit said.<br />"Now, I am able to see things at about two metres. Before operation, I was not able to see anything with my right eye but now I am able to see something, like a shadow. Dr Morris told me that there has been improvement but the process will be slow.<br />"He (Dr Morris) said by another two or three months, it will improve to a great extent and I will be able to view better and even I can identify colours," he said.<br />"But it will take some more time to know whether my vision will be hundred per cent or less," he added. <br /><br />Baljit, who went to the US to get a second opinion on his damaged right eye, was operated upon at a private hospital at Alabama earlier this month under the watchful eyes of renowned ophthalmologist Dr Robert Morris after Baltimore's John Hopkins hospital could not guarantee him full vision.<br />"I am slightly relieved and feel happy now. As of now, I must say that the decision to get it operated by Dr Morris was right.<br />"Dr Morris will advise me, possibly tomorrow, as to how long I should stay in Alabama. I have been asked to meet him tomorrow," he said.<br />He also thanked the government for funding his treatment in the US.<br />"I am now able to see light at the end of the tunnel. I thank the Government of India, the Sports Ministry and IOA for their financial support," the hockey custodian said.<br />Baljit was injured in a freak incident when a golf ball, he was practising with, sneaked through the visor of his helmet and damaged his right eye.<br />He then had to be airlifted to the capital where doctors at the All India Institute of Medical Ssciences conducted a marathon emergency surgery but could not promise him full vision.</p>
