Swedish Twitch Streamer Marlon Lundgren Garcia Addresses Eye Injury
Marlon Lundgren Garcia, better known as Mar3lg, recently shared details regarding a troubling eye injury he sustained shortly after relocating to the United States. With his Twitch channel now boasting a follower count exceeding 300,000, the Swedish streamer is well-known in the gaming community.
Live Update on Health Condition
During a live stream on April 22, 2025, Marlon broadcasted for about 30 minutes while wearing an eye patch. He candidly discussed his recent struggles with eye discomfort that led him to seek treatment at an urgent care center.
Medical Uncertainty Surrounds Diagnosis
In a straightforward manner, Marlon conveyed that the doctors were unable to offer a definitive prognosis regarding his eye condition:
“Long story short, we get to the end of it. And they’re [doctors] like, ‘For now we are just going to give you this. But we genuinely don’t know if it’s going to get better or not.’ They couldn’t tell because it was that bad, pretty much. And it’s gone too far kind of a thing, you know?”
Developing the Injury
On his Twitch stream, Marlon detailed that he had been experiencing eye problems for the two days leading up to his medical visit. Initially, he awoke with red eyes, which seemed to improve as the day went on. However, the following day, his right eye became increasingly red and irritated.
“I woke up that one day and my eye was like super, super red. And then I was like f**k it, chat, I am not one to just go to the doctors. I’m like, f**k it, it will work itself out. That was in the left eye. It kind of went over that day; I woke up the next day, bro, and it was my right eye, and it was fully red.”
“I couldn’t stream because it hurt so much, my eye was just shutting slowly.”
Seeking Medical Assistance
Eventually, the pain became unbearable, prompting Marlon to visit urgent care:
“It just got worse and worse by the day; I could barely open my eye for real. So I go to, I go to Urgent Care. I was like, I’m just going to pay it.”
Possible Causes Noted
At the medical facility, Marlon speculated that a recent incident involving Gorilla Glue could be linked to the discomfort he was experiencing. He clarified, however, that he did not hold anyone else accountable for the situation:
“I explained to her how I think the gorilla glue from that day, now I am not saying this is anyone’s fault. This is not anybody’s fault. I think it’s my fault when I was touching my eye when I probably should not have been touching my eye. And I told her that, and she was like, ‘You got to get to the doctor real quickly.'”
