Default Glenn Beck going blind?

Glenn Beck dropped quite the bombshell on a Salt Lake City audience over the weekend, revealing that he's been diagnosed with macular dystrophy, a slowly progressive eye disorder that can cause blindness.

He said that he went to a doctor because he "can't focus my eyes."

He joked that he went to a LensCrafters first, and that the guy there told him: "Woa, you might be going blind!"

When his doctor told him he had macular dystrophy, Beck said, "Is that that Jerry Lewis thing?"

He also joked that the doctor wasn't much help, telling him: "You could go blind in the next year . . . or you might not."

I'd be happy with laryngitis.

I wouldn't wish that on anyone.


I'm 100% blind in one eye, and because that was due to injury, there is a (very rare) chance I could develop a condition that causes the remaining eye to go blind too.

Although highly unlikely, and it's been 8 years since the accident happened, but still, they say the condition can develop at any time. Even decades later.

I'm not sure I'd even want to live if I went totally blind.

Sorry for the deep thought. It's near the top of my list of things I hope to never experience. Eyesight is a precious thing.

I would “never” wish anything bad on anyone, especially someone or a group of people I don’t know personally.

What do wish for Glen Beck is a better all around vision, compassion and understanding for things he doesn’t know and or is afraid of.

One thing I’m sure he’ll develop is a better respect for the gift of sight. Maybe he'll continue to learn and grow as an individuale also.

Guess what they say about too much jerking off is true.
