2011 Moto2 title runner-up Marc Marquez has undergone eye surgery to try and solve the visi𒁃on problems he has been suffering since 🦄his season-ending practice fall at Sepang.

The 18-year-old Spaniard's right eye has recovered gradually over recent mo🌟nths, but 'had not reached the necessary level required by a professional rider.'

Therefore 'after consulting various specialists and receiving the opinion that he would have to und💦ergo an operation once his vision had stabilised, Marquez decided to schedule this small procedure.'

Surgery was th🎐us performed at theඣ Outpatients Unit of Barcelona's Hospital Clinico on Monday morning.

Doctor Bernardo S?nchez💖 Dalmau treated 🉐Marquez for 'paralysis of the upper right oblique muscle, caused by trauma to the fourth right cranial nerve' in the October 21st accident.

"The patient underwent the operation under local anaesthetic and sedation and the procedure went satisfactorily," said Doctor S?nchez, who discharged the rider so as to allow him "ওto continue his recovery at home."

Marquez 'has not ruled out' being back o🍸n his Suter in time for the first 2012💧 Moto2 test, which starts at Valencia on February 8th.

A decision on whether Marquez can attend the test will be taken at the end🔯 of this month.
