The internet sensation brought attention to his visual impairment, shedding light on a personal aspect of his life.

MrBeast took to his preferred platform and tweeted, "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."
Interestingly, his awareness of the condition arose after he extended assistance to a thousand blind individuals.

One comment humorously remarked, "If you only picked yourself as one of the 1000 blind people you helped." Another admirer praised MrBeast's achievements: "This man made the most successful YouTube channel without even being able to see properly. What's your excuse?"
A more personal account was shared by someone who empathized, "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!"
Reflecting on MrBeast's revelation, another follower expressed, "Wow, that's quite a revelation! It's wild how we adapt to things without realizing they might not be normal."
MrBeast not only shared a personal struggle but also prompted his followers to appreciate the significance of vision and the adaptability of the human spirit.
