The Fox News host said he is losing his sight, in a surprising admission while addressing a crowd in Salt Lake City on Saturday.
Beck, 46, revealed he’s been diagnosed with macular dystrophy, “a genetic eye disorder that can cause progressive vision loss.”
During his speech, Beck told the audience, “I can’t focus my eyes.”
“A couple of weeks ago I went to the doctor,” Beck explained, “and he said, ‘you have macular dystrophy,” to which Beck reportedly joked, “Is that the Jerry Lewis thing?”
He also quipped about his prognosis, saying the doctor told him, “You could go blind in the next year. Or … you might not.’”
Taking the opportunity to knock the health care reform while he was at it, Beck said, “I went to the best doctor I could find, while I could still go to the best doctor I can find.”
Beck made the announcement in front of roughly 6,000 people during a stop on his ‘American Revival’ tour.

Some people actually think it's funny to make fun of a man who could be going blind. And they wonder why they can't get more people interested.

Keep those cards and letters coming.
I remember when one of the televangelists pulled the "if you don't give me X dollars, God is going to take me home"
Macular disorders are correctable, so say the folks at Claris Eye Centers.
Glenn needs to save the drama for the rubes.
Actually, Beck made fun of his own condition, and got a slap at Jerry Lewis's cause in the meanwhile.
About two years ago, some people on this forum applauded the stroke of another reader. Save your boo-hoos
