On January 29, 2023, the 24-year-old uploaded a video titled 1,000 Blind People See For The First Time, in which he demonstrated how he was able to help people around the world restore their vision.

After explaining the gist of the video, MrBeast talked about the surgical procedure used to cure blindness, saying:

"If you're wondering how the surgery allows people to see again, it's because the lens in their eyes is so cloudy that they can't see through it. So the surgeon uses a tiny vacuum to suck up the clouded lens. And replace it with an artificial one. The surgery is that simple! They can see again."

He also announced a $100,000 donation to the SEE International nonprofit organization, which helped him with the philanthropic endeavor:

"As a thank you because just you were so gracious in this video, we want to make a $100,000 donation. It'll bring sight to thousands of people."

The video went viral on the Google-owned platform, attracting 55 million views and over 5.4 million likes in just two days.
