I've heard several stories about the sunglasses. He did have bad eyesight, but was not blind. I've heard that he suffered from stage fright and the dark glasses gave him a measure of comfort, making him feel less exposed. I've also heard that he was self conscious about his eyes because they were small. And finally, I've heard that he once forgot his regular glasses when leaving a plane for a show. He still had on his dark prescription sunglasses. Since he could not see without glasses, he wore the dark ones to perform that night and it became his signature look. I almost feel like it could have been a combination of all of the above.
