MrBeast, who helped 1000 people with blindness, reveals he has astigmatism

Jimmy Donaldson aka MrBeast took to X and revealed that he has astigmatism. As per the National Eye Institute, “Astigmatism is a common eye problem that can make your vision blurry or distorted. It happens when your cornea (the clear front layer of your eye) or lens (an inner part of your eye that helps the eye focus) has a different shape than normal.” After MrBeast shared about his condition, many people reacted to it.
In his tweet, MrBeast wrote, “This might sound crazy, but I thought things far away looking super blurry was normal lol. I got my eyes checked and apparently have a bad stigmatism. Started wearing contacts recently, and wow. My eyesight is 3x better, and I don’t squint/can actually open my eyes normally.” He found out about his eye condition, after he helped 1000 people with blindness.

A second shared, “This man made the most successful YouTube channel without even being able to see properly. What’s your excuse?”
“Getting contacts was one of the best life decisions I’ve ever made. Go and look at a field. You’ll see blades of grass and individual leaves on trees. Don’t even get me started on the stars. You’ve been reborn!” posted a third.
A fourth said, “Wow, that’s quite a revelation! It’s wild how we adapt to things without realising they might not be normal.”
