Legendary actress Mary Tyler Moore has been left nearly blind from her years-long battle against diabetes, according to friends of the iconic TV star.
The 77-year-old Moore was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes at age 33, and she’s been largely out of public view for the past two years fighting the disease.
“Her eyesight is what the big problem is right now,” long-time pal and “Mary Tyler Moore Show” co-star Betty White told Closer Weekly magazine. “[Moore is now] almost beyond the point [of being able to see].”
“I don’t see her often, [ Hey don't feel bad, she doesn't see you...AT ALL ! ! ] but I talk to her a bunch,” said veteran funnyman Dick Van Dyke. "She’s really having a battle with it, I’m sorry to say.”
Valerie Harper, a “Mary Tyler Moore Show” co-star before spinning off into her own successful show, said diabetes has taken a brutal toll on Moore. “[The diabetes] does ravage her body...” said Harper.
Moore has struggled with her vision for years.
