I’m not going to offer words of advice or encouragement as you didn’t ask for that. What I will say is that we support you, Jon. We support your health, mental and physical. We support your journey here on KZfaq. We will support the changes that you need to make to take care of yourself. We will be here if you need to take time away or want to stay. Please, know that you are not alone. As someone whose partner lives with optic nerve damage, I fully understand your frustration and struggles. You are not alone. Please, never forget that we are all here for you; independently and as a community. Take as much or as little time as you need and never feel guilty for needing that time. We’ll be here no matter what ❤️

Sending you love man.

Praying everything gets better! Stay Strong 🙏🏻

As an eye doctor this is a rough video to watch. We take our vision for granted and when we lose it it’s devastating. I can say that with previous patients dealing with similar situations that do a lot better with time. Even if your vision isn’t back to what it was the brain is amazing at adapting over time, albeit with different functional capabilities. Prayers to you and keep moving forward buddy!

I hope everything goes well...a big virtual hug from Portugal 🙌

I’ve had halos ever since I had an eye surgery. I feel you man 100%. Praying for your health. Best advice I have is to take things one day at a time, or if that’s too hard, one hour at a time. Take life in Vite size chunks.

Sending prayers man, sounds brutal. Hope things improve with time 🙏

As someone who’s been having severe vision issues due to the result of my implanted contact lenses, I empathize and deeply respect your vulnerability in this video. I’ve struggled with halos, ghosting, and imbalanced mono vision for years since my surgery. But over the past few weeks I’ve hit a tipping point as things have gotten significantly worse. Stay strong. Take it a day at a time. And know so many of us are rooting for you.

We're all here you and behind you man. This is rough and we're really sorry to hear you're going through this. You are never alone.

Hi Jon. I hope these words reach you, and I hope they might help you a little bit, at least. I’m a 46 y/o dude, and I have lived through a lot of stuff. My sight was always not so good, but my audition was spotless. I'm a DevOps engineer, but in my heart, I'm a musician. A few years ago, my left ear failed with pain and a buzzing sound. Doctors told me that I had a stroke on my eardrum and that my hearing would never recover and the buzzing sound would never leave. I was destroyed, but even in pain and the buzzing, I kept playing my music as I could, that and some antidepressants helped me move forward, but I never left playing. Funny thing, I fully recovered my left ear works perfectly again, no buzzing, nothing. I hear perfect! Sorry for the long message. I just wanted to tell you to keep playing the guitar with your eyes closed, and I promise it will help you walk through this moment. I really hope these words reach you or someone close to you that helps you know this. I wish you the best, Jon; all my love and care goes to you! Rodrigo from Argentina

Wishing you all the best mate. Thanks for keeping us posted.

For someone that has dealt with some health issues over the years I can relate how debilitating it can be on your mental state. It definitely takes its toll. Keep your head up ❤ Sending good spirits.

Prayers from Brazil man. Everything will get better.

i am so sorry you're going through it Jon. regardless of what happens you'll come out on top! just take it day by day and this too shall pass ❤

I'm in the process of losing my vision, I understand you 100 percent. I've met so many blind and visually impaired people while going through my problem. Although part of my is glad I've been able to see for 40 years, other part see that people who were born blind doesn't go through as a big trauma, because you can't lose what you never had. I can't help but hear sadness in your voice, and that's a part when you lose your vision, your other senses go way up, and you are able to use those senses to "see" a new way. It's not easy going through vision problems, but it's not the end, there will be new people in your life as you are going through this new path on your life. You'll be on my prayers. I didn't used to believe in a higher power, but after losing my vision, I actually began to "see" stuff regular people don't see. Don't focus too much on your eye issue, understand everything happens for a reason, and know your going through this because it's meant to be. Believe, although you can't see or understand, do not lose your faith.

We love you Jon ♥️ Sending so much love and good health.

Oh man…I can hear it in your voice how difficult and emotional this is. It really sucks that you think you are moving past something only to have it come back worse. I can somewhat relate to what you are going through with the problems I have had, including with my eyes where I could not even see for awhile. It was truly a rough experience. I hope that the treatment you are trying works for you and that you can get back to the things you love doing. Health problems are no joke and definitely have to take a priority. Thanks for the update. The care you show for your channel even while you are going through stuff is…well it’s amazing and shows the character you have. Sending some positive vibes and hope that nothing but good things come your way. Stay strong and try to stay positive. (And yes, I know that is virtually impossible to do at a time like this). I wish you nothing but the best!

Wishing you all the best Jon, I'm an ophthalmic assistant to a retinal doctor, and we see issues like retinal detachments, macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy on a daily basis. I can really empathize with people who lose their vision and I can reassure you that there is a life beyond your condition. It's incredible how we take our vision for granted until a small, seemingly random event can trigger something so dramatic and life-changing. I hope your message raises awareness of the importance of ocular health.

My friend, you are one of the best and your willingness to share your struggle will help many people. I appreciate you and wish you well with the new treatment. I could hear in your voice how hard this is for you and I wish you the best and look forward to seeing you back on our screens. If you ever need anything, I and many others will be right there to help.

Oh, Jonathan. I’m so sorry, bro. I can’t imagine how rough this is. Health stuff just hits a certain way. Hoping and praying the treatment works and that you’re able to get to a place where you feel like you can be creative and stable. ❤❤

Be strong John. Hoping for your healing.

Hey, just wanted to say that Brazil is sending you all the good energy of the world! I hope the new medicine gives you good results and that the scaring fades away. We’re with you, my friend. We hope you get better! Love from Brazil 🇧🇷

Kudos to you for advocating for your health, I know first hand how frustrating it can be to navigate the medical solutions available, especially when it's something that isn't well understood, or can't provide definitive answers for when or if you'll feel better. All the best man, we love you in this community.

Jonathan thanks for being brave enough to share this update. I wish there was something I could do. I am rooting for you and looking forward to the day that things get better. I hope that you’re surrounded by people that love and support you. You are stronger than you know, hang in there.

You're easily one of my biggest inspirations to get into video making, and someone I have followed for nearly a decade. I wish for nothing more than a speedy recovery where you can get as much of your vision back to 100% as possible. This community has always been one of my favorites, and from the comments I've spent the night reading I can very much tell that we are here for you. We support what videos you put out, and want nothing but the best on finding solutions and allowing you to continue creating as you seem to have always wanted to do.

I had shingles that was on my face - the minute clinic sent me straight to the ER. Luckily it wasn’t in my eye but man, my heart goes out to you. ❤

You've got a massive heart, man. You offered me words of support when I needed it the most, even though you taking the time to reply was the last thing I expected. I wish you all the best and hope for the best, friend. No matter what happens, I know I and many others will be here, no matter what form or path your next steps lead to.

Had shingles all over my face and head last year. It was brutal, one of the most difficult things in my life. I’m so sorry to hear - keep on keeping on my friend.

Same happened to me 4 years ago. The scaring finally went away this year. However, when my eye gets dry, it still hurts. Everything about it sucks! Feel for ya brotha. 🙏🏼

Dude… I can’t even imagine. I am so sorry. Thoughts and prayers man. Easy for me to say, but stay strong. Don’t give up. Don’t give into it. You’ll find a way to get through this and figure out how to navigate the day to day. Sending positivity and hugs your way.

Thank you for being vulnerable enough to share this health update with us. This is courageous, and I know you’re built to overcome the difficulties life throws at us. I pray for you continued healing and that the best outcome in this situation, happens for you. You’re a great person, an amazing content creator. You have a community of support here for you. If you believe in prayer, know that I’m praying for you. Things will get better. Keep hanging in there. We are with you.

Hey, that's what trials are for. Thank you for your service.

Hang in there mate.... long time supporter and we are here no matter what! Wishing you a speedy recovery

I’m praying for you Jon, I can hear it in your voice, I hope there is a way to fix this or make it better. We are all here for you.

Sorry to hear about all this. My Mom is blind in both eyes and just recently blind, so I’ve learned so much about eyes through her disability. If you’re in Los Angeles The Braille Institute and the Dayle McIntosh Center have been really great resources for her to learn more about her condition. The Dayle McIntosh center actually gave her a referral for an eye evaluation and suggested technology to deal with her condition. It was pretty cool to see all the things available to various eye conditions. I hope it’s temporary for you, but it’s good to learn more about what you’re going through and how you can deal with it.

I am so sorry you’re going through this, Jonathan. We tend to always take our health and the small things in life for granted. Thanks for being so open about your journey, you’re an inspiration to many. Sending all the love, strength and healing energy.

I’ve been watching your videos for years! One of my favourite KZfaqrs, absolutely love your content. Praying for a speedy recovery. Do what’s right for you, as you said health comes first. Stay strong my friend!

Took me sometime to come around and watch this video. Not because I didn’t care but because I knew you were hurting and we all know how much you love the work you do. It’s heartbreaking seeing this video and watching you put your words together. I can only imagine how difficult this might have been. We support you John and we hope that you can get well soon! Sending you our support!

I can't imagine how frustrating this process has been, I hope you are getting all the support you need at the moment locally. Just want to send goo spirits your way! We are here for you and will be, with changes or no changes! Keep your head up, you'll come out of this even stronger ❤

So sorry that you’re dealing with all of this- we’ll be rooting for you every day 🙏 Thanks again for everything you’ve made and done over the years and all the positivity you’ve shared. Hopefully that massive global community can be a source of support and comfort when you need it.

Sending you good vibes Jon, we here for you man 👊

Sorry that you’re going through this but we’re all inspired by your strength and openness. We’re supporting you all the way.

Wishing you nothing but the best Jonathan. Hope you have some relief in the near future.

I'm genuinely sorry to hear about what you're experiencing. As a practicing psychologist, I would like to offer you my service free of charge for your mental well being, as a token of my appreciation for your wonderful videos throughout the years. If you believe that talking to me could be helpful, please feel free to reach out. Your well-being is important to us.

Don't lose hope and stay positive Jon! Praying for your speedy recovery. 🙏🏻

Praying for you Jon - praying for you strength and your mind to hold firm. Also praying for healing! Have faith continue to fight the darker thoughts. You got a community behind you, supporting you🙏🏽

Virtual hug man, much love ❤️.

Praying for healing over your life.

Damn, last week I was on the verge of going permanently deaf in one ear. I know how that hopelessness of losing one of your senses feels, there’s nothing I can say that could help. I unfortunately completely understand that frustration and I hope a lot of people never understand how that feels, and like you said, health always comes first. You were one of the first techtubers I subbed to so many years ago when you were tld. I just really hope you recover well enough to where you’re comfortable.

Dear Jonathan, I truly admire your courage in openly discussing your health struggles; the emotion in your voice doesn't go unnoticed. Wishing you nothing but the best, rest assured that my support for you is unwavering. Your sincerity and honesty shine through, and as a long-time follower of your KZfaq channel, I look forward to continuing this journey with you. Lot's of love from Vienna❤

Stay strong, you’ve been a big inspiration to many and I can’t imagine what you are going through but I pray that everything goes well for you. Take care of yourself and keep pushing forward looking for solutions, we are all here cheering for you to return with the best possible results❤️

Damn, I’ve been watching you for a good while now and to see you like this it isn’t nice. Hope you get well soon man.

Sending prayers your way my man. This is just a season in your life, all seasons end eventually. This community is strong and we will continue to rally behind you and your team.

Praying for you Jon, you got this. I know you have this.

Sending you healing energy. And wishing you recovery through this. It will get better and your body will adjust. Don't lose hope, brother. You'll overcome it.

Nothing but love for you Jonathan. Keeping you in my prayers, and hope you can find a way to stay positive during this time. 🙏🏽🙏🏽❤❤

oh man - I'm sorry dude.. Take all the time you need, we'll keep pulling for you dude!

My prayers are with you Jon. I pray you get better.

Just wanted to say…its okay to feel scared or have fear….but you will get through this!!!! You have a circle around you of people that care about you, and even more of a community that cares about you.

Big hugs to you Jon! All the support in the world is there with you. Wishing you the best possible health!

Sending big love your way brother 🤍

Ah man, I'm so sorry you're going through this again Jon, stay strong & look after yourself.

May you go through this time smoothly, we encourage you. From Thailand

Stay strong man. You got this, we all got your back.

We're all wishing you a steady recovery, you got this Jon

May Allah grant you speedy recovery and bless you with a cure as soon as possible

Hi Jonathan. I am a long time viewer of yours and I love your content. I can sort of relate with this because I have something called Retinitis Pigmentosa, and it causes me to have to adjust to my eyesight every 6 months to a year as it’s constantly changing. Keep a positive attitude and remember you have no limits. Praying for good things to come your way. ❤

Hope to see you back on top ! Stay strong Jonathan, hope things will gets better with time 🙏🏻

Sending you so much love and healing. You didn’t have to share your story with us but you did and we appreciate you❤

I had shingles when I was 21 (the youngest the doctors who treated me had ever scene) and that was 17ish years ago and I doctors had to keep a close watch on my eye because they were afraid the sore on my eye, if it hit a nerve, could blind that eye. Luckily it didn’t. This is why I’m also so adamant about needing trials of the shingles vax because (at 38), I still don’t qualify for it and I do fear, especially during stressful times, that’ll it’ll reappear again in an aggressive fashion. I hate that this is happening to you, and adding my support for you to the pool.

Dear Jon. Our thoughts and prayers go out to you in this difficult time. You have been an inspiring force in my KZfaq career; in the way that I approach my content and how I have tried to fashion the look of my videos. InshaAllah you will come through this stronger and better than before. Take all the time you need to get better. I, along with the legions of followers and fans that you have gathered over the years, will wait for you. If there is any way that we can help you, we are always just an email away. Good luck and God speed. Much love.

Praying for a miracle. We do take our vision for granted until it breaks down. I hope you will pop in as often as you can. You mean so much to all of us.

Stay strong! As a 2x cancer survivor I feel ya on the struggle. But I know you can and will get thru this

Bro be strong 💪 we’re not just your KZfaq audience we’re your family and you’ll get through this. Pray just like we’re praying for you.

Seeing you how you are now, it’s true indeed that “health is wealth”, may you recover quick…. All the best wishes John! I am a big fan of yours and would love to get anything from you as your memory! Even a signed picture, paper, anything that symbolizes John Morrison

sending you SO much love, Jonathan. (Ironic writing you a comment when reading is so uncomfortable for you. Sorry about that.) What a horrible obstacle to have to figure out. It's been wonderful watching you evolve over the years and it'll be just as wonderful when you get to the other side of this. Whatever that is. Deep breaths, fam. You've got some work ahead of you, but you are absolutely not alone. 😘🤙🏿✨

I'm so sorry for what you're going through. I can't even imagine what it must be like! :(

Just had my own eye journey over the past year with bilateral retinal detachments and 5 total surgeries and very real possibility of blindness. As my first health ‘adventure’ I can relate to the fear you’re feeling…especially with anything impacting our vision. I wish you the best possible outcome and will pray for you.

After this video, i went to old videos when I found this channel. The energy was great, the feel was always awesome. I feel so bad seeing you in this state. I wish a quick recovery. We really love you brother. ❤

Hey man, I'm legally blind in my right eye (was dominant) due to an accident when I was 16. I hope you're doing ok with this. You can get through it and overcome.

Stay strong Jonathan!! Most importantly stay positive and never give up. Find a community church that will support you and will stand shoulder to shoulder with you! It's such a blessing to be part of community that cares about you and supports you in difficult times. God can for sure give you true peace in this hard time. God bless!!

You are such a kind, caring, compassionate person. My heart goes out to you. I’m sending you all the good thoughts, prayers, and positive vibes in the world! You are a light in this world and so many people will be sending that light right back to you during this time!! Love & hugs. ❤🤗🫂

Keeping you in prayer 🙏🏼 Nothing is too big for God to handle 🙌🏼 Side note, a friend of mine had an eye injury that threw off his equilibrium and an eye patch went a long way during the healing process, allowing the eye to rest and helped with the imbalance of it all. Healing is on the way brother ❤️🙏🏼

Safe and effective.

been a while since I watched your video about your health. I'm glad I'm still getting update from you but at the same time I'm so sorry to hear the news. I hope the best for you.

We are all with you, Jon!

Jon I cannot tell you enough how much I appreciate you for sharing a very personal story about your health. I've been watching you for way too many years. Health comes first obviously. I will never stop watching your channel even if you're not the face in front of the camera. The DNA of this channel is still you. I know you've been fighting a struggle for a long while now. Take good care of yourself. 😍

🤗 Wishing you nothing but love and grace, brother

Praying for you Jonathan! Stay strong 💪🏻

Hey man, good health to you and go lions! My gf had shingles and still occasionally to this day gets these bumps along a nerve line. Not as serious as this obviously, but you're not alone going through stuff! Hang in there

I wish you everything goes well Jonathan. Sending you my love.

Youre the best anyway and we are here to support you!!! No matter what happens

When you mentioned the parallels to D Rose…that just hit different. You’re one of the realest creators out there and it’s not close. Your videos have been dope, insightful, inspiring, and just fun. I’m so so sorry that you’re going through this and that the situation hasn’t improved at all. But you can and WILL get through this. This will get better and you’ll be 100% again. I know there’s not much anyone can say to really make everything better, but for what it’s worth, I hope you know just how much you mean to me and a lot of us who have been loving your videos for years. You’re amazing!!

God bless your life man! Pray for you bro! Hugs from Brazil!

I have been living with an eye condition called keratoconus for most of my life and even though this condition is very different than yours, we do share a lot of the same symptoms. So I can definitely empathize with you. I just want to let you know that you’re not alone bro, and the sooner you accept your reality, the sooner you can get back on your feet and live your life. This can be a blessing in disguise in that you can focus on things and people that matter to you most. I got closer to God as a result and I feel it brought me a new direction and meaning to my life. I love your channel and your content. And will continue to support you bro. 🙏🏼

aw man, im so sorry youre going through this. here for you if you ever need anything

Get well soon. You have our support! ❤❤

Hey Jonathan I just wanted to say this and hope you read it, I’ve been watching you for a while. You have a beautiful voice besides your amazing charm my friend, keep your head up you matter to a lot of people

sounds like the adverse reaction to the you kno what. Sorry to hear
