The Tennessee Titans' veteran cornerback had tired of dealing with contacts to correct his farsightedness, so he decided to have eye surgery to correct a vision problem he estimates might have cost him 20 or so interceptions over his eight-year NFL career. "They sat me up (after the surgery), I could see instantly. Instantly," Harper said Wednesday. "There was a clock in front of me. That's how I know. When I laid down, that clock was blurry. When I sat up, I could see it." Harper said he used to strain to watch television in bed. After the surgery, he said "it felt like I had HD." How much Harper's improved vision helps him on the field remains to be seen, and he won't estimate how many more interceptions it might bring, but he did pick off a pass from backup quarterback Patrick Ramsey during a drill Wednesday. "I've got to get those balls thrown my way again," Harper said. "Right now, everything is working. We'll see in game time."
