Macular Dystrophy – Glenn Beck to Go Blind?

On Saturday, during a live appearance show in Salt Lake City as part of his American Revival tour, FOX TV host Glenn Beck said he has macular dystrophy. Beck said that he went to an eye doctor two weeks ago and was diagnosed with the macular dystrophy condition.

“A couple of weeks ago I went to the doctor because of my eyes, I can’t focus my eyes…he did all kinds of tests and he said, ‘you have macular dystrophy …you could go blind in the next year. Or, you might not.’ I said, did you just charge me a thousand dollars for knowing what I knew my whole life?”

Macular dystrophy is a relatively rare genetic disorder that causes a progressive loss of vision.
