AutoBlog has filed a report that due to his eye he may never race again.
The head surgeon said they don't know what, if anything, is wrong with Massa's sight until he can open it.
There's a lot of "ifs" & "mights" floating around... Hopefully we'll find out soon.

Massa could leave hospital next week
28 July 2009
One of Felipe Massa's doctors feels that the Brazilian may be fit enough to leave hospital within ten days if his condition continues to improve at its current rate. The Ferrari driver has been in Budapest's AEK hospital since Saturday following his shocking accident during Hungarian Grand Prix qualifying.
Having been rushed to hospital on Saturday with potentially life threatening injuries, 28-year-old Massa was placed into an induced coma until Monday afternoon, when woken early by doctors due to the speed of his recovery. "My prediction is that he could leave the hospital on his legs," Doctor Peter Bazso told Hungary's M1 television channel.
"If his recovery continues at this rate, I don't doubt that he could be discharged within ten days. He is constantly more and more awake, talking with family and friends." The doctor did, however, stress that the driver has not been cleared with a clean bill of health. "I want to emphasize that, although he is recovering, it is not the end of it and he is still in danger," Bazso added. "Of course, the danger is decreasing day-by-day."

Those good news are: his vision is fine, he has NO problems with his left eye and he's been talking (with 3 languages) and is aware of exactly what's going around him.

Agreed, Autoblog just wanted a catchy title to get hits, they do it all the time when in reality it's only someone surfing the net like the rest of us looking for details. Guaranteed whoever wrote that knows about as much or less than we do.
