Bill Cosby goes blind

The 79 year old American comedian, actor, singer and songwriter, who is popularly known for the TV series Bill Cosby Show, has a deteriorating eye condition called Keratoconus which has left him blind according to reports. Keratoconus (KC) is a deteriorating eye disorder in which the cornea thins out and becomes more conical (bulging) than the normal gradual curve. This results in distortion of vision, seeing multiple images when exposed to high contrasting light, streaking among other things.
