As a glasses wearer, I love that we have this amazing, smart, bright, wholesome guy representing us at the Olympics!
-
He’s definitely the Clark Kent of men’s gymnastics

As someone with Strabismus I had to drop out of gymnastics because my depth perception was so bad I couldn’t tell how far away the end of the beam was… this is INCREDIBLE! I struggle so much with depth perception, balance, focusing on a still object, and hand eye coordination because of my eye condition. To be an olympic gymnast with eye problems is absolutely INSANE! You don’t realize just how important vision is in gymnastics until you’ve experienced it.

Please Ray Ban, Maui Jim or some other glasses company sign this wonderful bro to be the face of your brand. He is so good and a real inspiration to us glasses wearers.

What a terrific spokesperson for difficult vision issues!🥇🎉👓🎉🥇

Stephen, hats off to you for raising the awareness of Low Vision and how it can be just a condition, not a lifelong stumbling block! I am a Low Vision Rehabilitation eye doctor in Los Angeles, and so am well aware of Coloboma and Strabismus. You are a Rock Star!

I am in awe of him. At 54 with strabismis, poor depth perception and balance, there are many sports and activities I struggle with or cannot even do. Yes, I can do the lefy eye, right eye moves, but as a tween and teen, I was unmercifully teased or rediculed, especially in PE. Always picked last. 😢 Go Stephen.

I have Strabismus (crossed eye) in my left eye im practically half blind. Its so cool to see other people who have this condition like myself especially making it on the media. I have massive self esteem issues, but here Stephen is showing his full self to the world very inspirational !

Love this kid and wish him well. He is cute as a button, talented, focused, etc. A clever eyewear designer or manufacturer should get him under contract.

Stephen gives new meaning to being a role model! 🥰 It's not enough he's on Team USA killing it as a gymnast, he's giving people with vision issues positive vibes! He's from my home state and I hope we have a parade for him! 🥰😎🏅

What an adorable dork! 😊

Let this sink in for a minute.... he's not competing in the Paralympics. He's competing in the ABLE BODIED Olympics with limited vision. Wow!!

Such an amazing young man!

My dad had Retinoblastoma when he was in his 50’s. It’s normally a childhood cancer. Very rare for an adult to have that type of cancer. It was melanoma. Radiation was successful and dad is now 87 years old!

I love this guy I never heard of until two days ago!
-
Bless him. Stephen is an inspiration in many ways. I’m so pleased he’s done so well at the Olympics.

Life imitating art. Long ago on a show called "Highway to Heaven" they had an episode where a star high school athlete gets in an accident and loses his legs at the knees. He finally regains his confidence and joy by learning the pommel horse and becoming good at the sport, while inspiring others.

He is amazing and this just continues to propel him into the stratosphere ❤
