THE EYES HAVE IT. from September 2007 [1][]
Westmoreland County Commissioner Tom Balya suffered a serious eye injury playing racquetball recently.
Balya said he was playing with attorney Mike Stewart when a ball slammed into his left eye, prompting a visit to a physician in Pittsburgh.
Balya said his vision still is blurred and he will undergo further observation to make sure his retina was not damaged.
"I should have been wearing goggles," he said.
