Marc Marquez is continuing with his visit to opthalmologist as he pushes on to recover from diplopia to take part in 2022 MotoGP championship.

After Marquez was forced to miss the final race of the 2021 MotoGP season and the post-season tests, the Spaniard has continued his visits to the opthalmologist where he is being treated for diplopia. The problem returned after a fall during Portuguese GP training.

The latest results shows favourable progress which is allowing Marquez to physically prepare for the 2022 MotoGP season. The treatment plan has been conservative owing to the severity of the problem and it will continue like that.

“The Repsol Honda Team rider, who last October was diagnosed with an episode of diplopia after suffering a fall while training for the Portuguese GP, has continued periodic visits to his trusted ophthalmologist to assess the evolution of his vision over the past two months,” said a new statement from Honda.

“During these reviews the progress made has been deemed favorable and as a result Marquez will continue with a conservative treatment plan for the next few weeks. Marc Marquez will continue to undergo periodic reviews with Dr. Sánchez Dalmau during the coming weeks alongside the conservative treatment plan. The situation does not prevent the rider from Cervera from continuing his physical training plan to prepare himself physically for a new season.”
