Sure sounds like M. S. and therefore he might not have macular degeneration.

Prayers for Glenn Beck.

M.S. does not affect the macula (part of the retina). Its main eye involvement is the optic nerve. In fact, optic neuritis (inflammation of the optic nerve) is one of the frequent presenting symptoms of MS. Diabetes can have macular involvement, but usually swelling (edema) not “degeneration”. Hard to think of disorders that have true macular degeneration plus peripheral neruopathy (hands and feet tingling, loss of sensation, etc).
Praying for him. He’s certainly been a near prophetic voice in these terrible times.

Glenn ought to talk with Neil Cavuto if it is MS.

Neil has had it for years.
