About Macular Dystrophy:
There are diseases called Macular Dystrophies that affect the Cornea, or clear front surface of the eye which don’t lead to total blindness, just decreased vision, and there are diseases called Macular Dystrophies that affect the back of the eye, or retina, that can lead to devastating blindness. Based on what Mr. Beck states, our opinion is he suffers from Vitelliform Macular Dystrophy, a disease that affects the retina and macula of the eye, both structures within the back of the eye, although it is unclear at the time. There is also a common blinding eye condition, macular degeneration that typically occurs in the elderly but has forms that may occur in younger people.
Types of retinal macular dystrophies include:
Butterfly-Shaped Pigment Dystrophy
Dominant Drusen/Doyne’s Honeycomb Dystrophy
North Carolina Macular Dystrophy and several others.

its very interesting to see how nice and humble he is when he is talking about his problems while he was cheering the deaths of millions of children in Iraq. Glen Beck has been saying alot of negative things about the muslims and ISLAM in general now God is tasting him with blindness. let us see how God is going to help him. the best i can do is as God to show him the right bath
