Eye injury taking toll on Broncos enforcer Josh McGuire LONG-TERM VISION: Broncos forward and Maroons hopeful Josh McGuire is fighting to save his sight in one eye. JOSH McGuire has more to worry about than missing out on the Queensland jumper. Right now, the Broncos enforcer is exploring ways to avoid a cataract impairing the vision in his left eye and affecting his long-term NRL career. It has been two years since McGuire suffered a detached retina and damaged iris after copping an accidental poke in the eye from teammate Mitchell Dodds during a game against the Bulldogs. In that time, McGuire sustained two further blows to the same eye and has undergone four operations to improve his sight. But at 23, the Maroons hopeful is not out of the woods. He estimates he has about 30 per cent vision in his left eye - but he risks going blind with the onset of a cataract. Eye specialists say it is inevitable a cataract will develop, although McGuire, who faces more surgery, hopes it is not a problem that plagues his career. "My eyesight has not got better," said the prop, who expects to pass a fitness test to face the Eels at Parramatta Stadium this Saturday night. At the moment, it's holding up OK, there's no cataract there ... but it will come eventually. I still have floating blood vessels in there so I'm seeing shapes and shadows. During the pre-season, McGuire had dreams of a Queensland jumper. He won his big break against Papua New Guinea last September, playing for an Australian Prime Minister's XIII side coached by Maroons mentor Mal Meninga. But an off-season hernia operation, coupled with a calf injury, has restricted McGuire to only three NRL games this season. With the Maroons side for Origin I to be named in three weeks, McGuire is running out of time to impress Meninga.
