Jimmy Donaldson, known by his YouTube channel name MrBeast, shared in a post on X that his vision was “super blurry” and he had to squint to see properly.
Popular YouTuber MrBeast, who has helped 1,000 visually challenged people regain vision, revealed he had been suffering from astigmatism, an eye defect that causes blurred vision.
Jimmy Donaldson, known by his YouTube channel name MrBeast which has over 236 million subscribers, shared in a post on X that his vision was “super blurry” and he had to squint to see properly. The YouTuber said he recently “got his eyes checked” and was diagnosed with astigmatism.
“This might sound crazy, but I thought things far away looking super blurry was normal lol. I got my eyes checked and have a bad stigmatism. Started wearing contacts recently and wow. My eyesight is 3x better and I don’t squint/can open my eyes normally,” he wrote in a post.
Joking about a video he posted last year where he paid for eye procedures of 1,000 people, the YouTuber quipped, “I should have helped myself in this video.”
The video titled “1,000 Blind People See For The First Time” was posted in January last year and showed Mr Donaldson helping 1,000 people in the US and other countries by paying for their eye surgeries. In the video, the patients who complained of blurry vision received minor surgeries to clear up the lenses of their eyes.
