What Happened to Fetty Wap’s Eye? Everything to Know About His Condition
By Sophia Al-Mansoor
Q1: Was Fetty Wap ever shot in the eye?
No. Rumors that Fetty Wap was shot in the face or injured in a street fight are completely false. His vision loss resulted from congenital glaucoma contracted during infancy.
Q2: Can Fetty Wap see out of his left eye at all?
No. The ocular pressure damage caused by his childhood glaucoma irreversibly destroyed the optic nerve in his left eye, resulting in complete blindness on that side.
Q3: Why doesn't Fetty Wap wear a glass eye or ocular prosthesis?
He wore a prosthetic eye throughout his childhood but stopped as a teenager. He chose to stop wearing it because he grew comfortable with his natural appearance and felt no desire to wear a cosmetic prosthesis just to satisfy other people.
Q4: Is congenital glaucoma a common condition?
No. Primary congenital glaucoma is relatively rare, occurring in roughly 1 out of every 10,000 to 20,000 live births in the United States. It requires prompt pediatric ophthalmological surgery to avoid total blindness.
