Per the Athletic, Brink had eye surgery over the off season, so no more contacts to fall out, and the article says her corrected vision is helping her shooting.

Now that you mention it, it's been a long time since I've seen her do that thing where she pokes around her eye, adjusts her contact, then blinks a bunch between plays. I'd totally forgotten how often she had to do that in the past.

I still think net/net, she should not take a lot of these long range shots, because it's basically a guaranteed rebound for the defense if she misses. That's a big contrast to Jump et al, where we have a good odds for a second chance. But taking enough to keep her a credible outside threat from the key works for me.
