Bono Reveals Why He Always Rocks Shades: I Have Glaucoma

Have you ever wondered why U2 frontman Bono always wears glasses? Well, we now know that it?s not just a style choice ? it?s actually for medical reasons.

While chatting with BBCOne?s Graham Norton, Bono revealed that he?s suffered from glaucoma for the past 20 years.

Glaucoma is a condition caused by pressure building up on the eye, which in turn, damages the optic nerve and leads to vision loss if not treated. It also makes those with the condition hyper-sensitive to light.

"I have good treatments and I am going to be fine," Bono told the radio host.

In addition, the 54-year-old commented on those who may have mocked his sunglasses and said, ?You?re not going to get this out of your head now and you will be saying, ?Ah, poor old blind Bono.??
