Being able to use your fame and money for a kind act is the greatest thing one can do. Recently, MrBeast, the well-known American YouTuber, initiated a fantastic effort that won the hearts of millions of netizens. 1000 people who had lost their vision or were on the edge of it received cataract operations because of his sponsorship. The cost of a cataract operation was out of reach for most of the 1,000 patients on the receiving end. In a video that MrBeast posted to his YouTube channel, the audience can witness him assisting those who have lost their vision.

In the viral video, he also discussed the surgery’s procedure. He also gave away $10,000 to some of the patients after the operation. Michael Bisping, who lost an eye due to the violent nature of his career, after coming across MrBeast’s video, decided to give a big shout-out to the content creator.

‘The Count’ uploaded a video of a live question-and-answer session on his YouTube channel. One of the viewers asked if he saw the charity service done by MrBeast. Being a famous UFC fighter and having lost half of his sight, Bisping was totally moved by the kind act of Jimmy Donaldson. In his YouTube channel, Bisping said “He cured 1000 people’s eyes or Vision I mean that was incredible. Absolutely insane, what he did. Shout Out to MrBeast. Let’s be honest I mean if you are not.. using your fame or your wealth for good then I don’t know what is.”

There is no doubt that the best person to talk about this act is Bisping. He lost an eye to glaucoma, and on several occasions, the Englishman has mentioned how difficult it is to live with a single eye. However, he later talks about the condition of his own eye. He detailed how a cataract surgery won’t work for him because the nerve endings in his eye are destroyed.

Additionally, Levenson himself is a kind person who has taken the initiative to perform free surgeries for uninsured and poor cataract patients.
