Tetsuya Naito To Undergo Eye Surgery, NJPW Wrestling Dontaku Results 5/1/2022

NJPW star Tetsuya Naito will be undergoing eye surgery, according to a report from Tokyo Sports. 

The report noted that Naito will have surgery to repair superior oblique muscle paralysis in his right eye. The paralysis was causing him to have double vision.

He told Tokyo Sports that his eye is in worse shape now than when he first underwent surgery in 2019.
