This is a little different than the normal 'eye test' stories in that he did the Lasik in the offseason presumably to fine tune his vision and it clearly didn't work. The timing of everything lines up very strongly with the performance as well. His season stats are likely stuck being bad, but it's worth looking at his splits in a bit to see how they are doing.

I had a similar issue in high school. I could sort of switch hit albeit with zero pop from the left side. I could, however, always make contact from that side of the plate...right side was a lot more swing and miss but more power so I never tried to hit lefty in a game. I learned 20 years later that my left eye was 20/20 but my right was like 20/60 or something. 

 

If you ever read The Sports Gene there's a whole chapter on the importance of eye sight and hitting a baseball. 

"Dustin Pedroia doesn't have the strength or bat speed to hit major-league pitching consistently, and he has no power......He probably has a future as a backup infielder if he can stop rolling over to third base and shortstop." Keith Law, 2006
