A blind guy’s thoughts on Mr. Beast curing 1,000 people’s blindness

Here are my thoughts on the Mr. Beast video where a thousand legally blind people were treated for their cataracts. While I do think that what was done was a good thing, I do have an area of concern to bring up as well. It does make me happy to know that those who can be treated for a form of treatable and curable blindness like cataracts were able to get the procedure done. This however, doesn’t mean that all types of blindness can be treated in the same way. Blindness is a spectrum, and there are various other eye conditions that affect different parts of the eye. Here’s hoping that this does increase the conversation about blindness in general to increase education about it, as there are millions of people around the world who have some sort of visual impairment.

I fully agree with you, Juan! Blindness is such a wild spectrum that can’t be put in one box or label. “Cures” or more specifically, medical treatments for Vision to keep your eyes overall healthy is great and all, but I’m used to my form of My Blindness. I came to terms with it and I believe that acceptance of your life situation you can’t change is the best option to move forward!

I am in agreement with you. In fact you should come to my podcast so that we may speak about these matters together.

I hope that one day there will be a way to cure your type of blindness

I'm blind in my right peripheral. I have some spot on my optic nerve and would take brain surgery to fix........

I think many people don’t realize how complex the eye can be. Like you mentioned, it would take some sort of brain surgery to even attempt to treat it, but that alone just sound super risky.

How he watch Mr beast if he blind?

I can still hear, and only if a video has a lot of visuals then it becomes somewhat problematic.
