Hallmark Actor Ben Mehl Legally Blind
Ben Mehl, star of Hallmark’s My Christmas Guide is legally blind. Two years ago, the Canadian actor spoke to Authority magazine about what happened. He explained that his vision loss in his senior year of college was due to a “rare genetic form of macular degeneration called Stargardt’s disease.”
Mehl explained that this was incurable. “I was told that it was progressive and that there was no treatment or cure.
My vision deteriorated to the point where I could no longer read normal sized text or recognize faces. I didn’t know whether pursuing a career in acting was possible anymore. How would I read my scripts? How would I see the expression on my scene partner’s face? After taking time to mourn the loss of my central vision and accept my new life, I decided I was not going to let this disease define me, and I would learn what it meant to be an actor with this disability and continue to pursue my dream.
