More than that? Not a chance.

Does he still suffer from Yips? What's SightRight gonna do to cure that?

I think that's the goal. Can't see him playing when he's still struggling with the yips.

Is it something that can be cured? Or can SightRight give him tips to playing, despite his condition?
I feel skeptical. He was past his best for some years before retiring, then he's taken even more years off the game. I can't see him being able to reclaim any kind of past glories. Much though I'd love to be wrong on that.

I have always wondered about the affect the same muscle movement has on your body if you do that same movement millions and millions of times which top snooker players obviously do.
Is it some kind of RSI therefore?

Of course it's mental. It may manifest itself physically but it's driven by the mind and its many devious tricks.

I play a lot of songs that I've learned a long time ago and I play them without thinking about the structure of the songs or what my fingers are doing. In fingerstyle guitar, the right hand is often doing complicated things. The thumb is playing a bass line pattern while the fingers are playing melody patterns. Sometimes a friend who also plays asks me to show him a certain pattern. Sometimes it happens that I break down a fingering pattern that I've been playing for years without effort, and because I break it down for him I'm thinking about it too much and now I forgot how I played it and I need to learn it again myself! This has happened to me a couple of times.

This happens to me if I make the mistake of thinking about my PIN number at a cash machine.

The thing about these guys is they still have the ability/game, they just lack the confidence.
I had the pleasure of watching an exhibition with these two not long ago and when the pressure of a tournament is not on the line they don't miss much at all. Watched Jimmy practice for 2hrs...he never missed a ball. Hendry rolled in a sublime 134 in his first frame (which someone paid $500 to play against him, had one shot ), that was after 8hr flight in from the UK, no practice, no warm up at all. Admittedly the table played easier than a tournament table but I wouldn't call them bucket pockets.
If Sight Right fixes Hendrys confidence/yips issue and he starts enjoying the game again look out.
Big ask at this point but it would be great to see a resurgent Hendry, best of luck to him.
