**President Nelson, at 100, Acknowledges Failing Eyesight**

Salt Lake City – President Russell M. Nelson, the leader of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, is experiencing vision loss, according to a recent statement shared by Apostle Quentin Cook at a stake conference in Kentucky.

Cook reported that President Nelson, who will turn 101 this Tuesday, told the apostles that he “just can’t see anymore” and authorized them to inform church members of his condition. The Salt Lake Tribune has confirmed the authenticity of the recording of Cook’s remarks.

“That’s the only thing he can’t do,” Cook said.

The announcement comes after a series of age-related physical challenges for President Nelson. In 2023, he began using a walker or wheelchair due to balance issues. Later that year, he suffered a back injury from a fall that prevented him from attending the fall General Conference in person.

When asked for comment a church spokesperson pointed out Nelson mentioned his eyes getting older during the April General Conference.

It remains unclear whether President Nelson will attend the upcoming General Conference on October 4-5. In recent conferences, he has limited his in-person appearances and delivered speeches through prerecorded videos.

Despite his physical limitations, President Nelson, the oldest person to ever lead the Church, continues to preside over the 17.5 million-member global faith. His dedication to the church has been unwavering.
