Chicago Bulls guard Derrick Rose revealed he is suffering blurred vision, but the three-time NBA All-Star is ready to face the Cleveland Cavaliers.

The Bulls will host 2014-15 runners-up the Cavaliers in Tuesday's opener in Chicago, with Rose set to take to the court despite still feeling the effects of a left orbital fracture.

Rose, who suffered a facial fracture in September, only made his pre-season bow on Friday, posting eight points in 10 minutes wearing a protective face mask against the Dallas Mavericks.

While Rose is still not feeling 100 per cent, the 2011 NBA MVP told reporters after practice on Monday that he is ready to contribute.

"It [left eye] is still blurry a little bit. But every day, like I said, it's improving. It's a slow process," Rose said.

"A little bit [of double vision still] when I look certain places. But if I concentrate really hard or focus on it a little harder, I can see more things at certain times.

"I see side-to-side, but usually when I look certain places I see double still. When I play I just play with one eye. Close the other eye until my vision is back clearer. I just close one eye and just go out there and play. It worked out for me."

Rose added: "Since the first day, I really haven't had a problem with [wearing the protective mask].

"When I'm playing I'm so focused on the game that you really don't know that you have it on until there's a timeout or something like that and you've got to wipe it off. But other than that I don't care."

Rose has been ravaged by injuries in recent years, limiting the star guard to just 100 regular-season appearances in four campaigns.

The 27-year-old tore his left anterior cruciate ligament in the first round of the 2012 play-offs, an injury that saw him to miss the entire 2012-13 campaign.

Rose was then sidelined for the majority of the 2013-14 season due to a right meniscus tear.

Asked about his health, Rose replied: "I really don't want to jinx myself by talking about the future. I just got back on the court but if I could play in all 82 [games] that would be great.

"Every day I'm improving. I’m playing with one eye and I'm able to play on the top level of basketball, and that’s the NBA. And I'm able to practice and everything.

"I think my body is fit for [the season] now. I lost a couple of pounds. Last year I was at 212. This year I'm at 203. Same weight I was when I won MVP. So feel a bit lighter. And who knows? The way I was able to drive the ball [against the Mavs], it felt good driving, and like I said, it boosted my confidence a little bit."
