Repsol/Caixa Catalunya Moto2 rider Marc Marquez has undergone a successful operation this morning to sort out the vision problems he was experiencing in his right eye and is now at home recuperating.

The 2011 series runner-up suffered a big highside in Malaysia and has been having double vision ever since. He was treated for paralysis of the upper right oblique muscle, caused by trauma to the fourth right cranial nerve.

“The patient underwent the operation under local anaesthetic and sedation and the procedure went satisfactorily,” said Doctor Sánchez, who discharged the rider so as to allow him “to continue his recovery at home.”
