Angus T. Jones struggles with his sight

Angus T. Jones fumbles through shooting on hit TV show Two And A Half Men as he is "almost legally blind" but can't wear his glasses on set.

The 18 year old, who has been part of the popular sitcom since the age of eight, struggles with his sight and wears special glasses when he is not working.


Jones has learned to plan out and memorise all of his on-set directions so he can film scenes without being able to see properly.


He tells the New York Post, "I'm wearing glasses. I can't see. I'm almost legally blind. I've gotten used to not wearing them on the show because I determine what I need to (do) and work it all out in rehearsal."

Poor kid. I'd of never guessed it. He really does a good job to be so young. He is to be commended. On a side note, my son has a friend who is Angus's cousin, and he has come to visit them a few times (at least that's what the girl told my son). Apparently, when he does come, he keeps it on the DL, so he's not mobbed. Not sure if it's true, I'd have to see him for myself, to believe it. But, I guess it's possible.

Sounds like he has learned to deal with it well.

I don't understand why they won't write it in where he gets glasses. That is just my common sense talking.
