As he waits to find out when he'll stand trial for three counts of felony aggravated indecent assault, Bill Cosby is reportedly blind and stuck at home without much support besides his wife Camille.

An insider tells the New York Post the comedy icon suffers from an eye disease called keratoconus that's gotten progressively worse over the past year, during which the number of women claiming he drugged, raped and/or sexually assaulted them has climbed above 50.

"His alleged victims may take some solace in the fact that he's in his own personal hell," says the Post's source. "He has been suffering from a degenerative eye disease and is completely blind … All his Hollywood friends have turned their backs on him."

The insider went on to say Cosby, now 79, "is confined to his house in Pennsylvania, and the only person on his side is his wife, Camille, who is masterminding his defense," adding, "His only friends are the small army of lawyers on his payroll."
