“A couple of weeks ago I went to the doctor because of my eyes, I can’t focus my eyes,” said Beck, the radio and Fox News host. The doctor performed a variety of tests and diagnosed him with the rare genetic disorder that causes progressive loss of vision. The doctor concluded that Beck could go blind within the next year.
He was choked up as his relieved the news to the crowd of 6,000. He spoke about potentially losing his sight and not being able to see his wife or children and not being able to read.
