Lyons said on Tuesday he is feeling better but still experiencing some double vision, which he has been told should continue to improve and return to normal within 90 days or so.
“It’s been a long three weeks,” he said. “It knocked me back a little bit. It made me realize there is nobody that’s Superman. Life changes on a dime. It changes in a heartbeat.”
