Dame Judi Dench shares concerns in latest health update

Actress Judi Dench candidly discussed the challenges she encounters due to her persistent health issues.

Back in 2012, the beloved British actress first revealed she was gradually losing her eyesight.

The 90-year-old Academy Award recipient openly acknowledged receiving a diagnosis for macular degeneration, a condition linked to aging that may cause someone’s sharp central vision to become less clear.

Currently, I’m sharing updates on her situation, and Dame Judi Dench mentioned that she often has concerns about participating in events due to her health.

In a candid disclosure, the actress spoke about the transformative changes in her life lately. She admitted that as her eyesight weakens, she requires increased help and care.

In the engaging conversation on Trinny Woodall’s Fearless podcast, I shared this thought: “Someone is always by my side now, as it’s crucial for me since I can no longer see. I might stumble upon something or take a tumble if not.

I’m usually anxious before attending events. I can’t quite figure out why… I’m simply uncomfortable with solo situations, and that feeling persists even now.

On the other hand, Dench expressed gratitude for no longer needing to hide her condition or feign sight.

“Fortunately, I don’t have to now because I pretend to have no eyesight,” she remarked.

Despite the difficulties that her condition presents, the actress expresses her desire to carry on with her work for as long as possible.

She previously spoke out about the difficulties she faces on a film set with her limited sight.

In a 2023 interview with The Daily Mirror’s Notebook magazine, she expressed that she can no longer see on movie sets and cannot read either, which means she has limited vision overall.

“But, you know, you just deal with it. Get on.”
