Judi Dench, at 90, revealed her struggles with macular degeneration on Trinny Woodall's podcast, stating she cannot venture out alone anymore due to vision loss. Diagnosed in 2012, Dench admitted to feeling nervous and needing assistance. Her condition has significantly impacted her 60-year acting career, making it increasingly difficult to read scripts and memorize lines. Dench humorously noted her attempts to conceal her impairment, while also advocating for aids to navigate her challenges as she continues to adapt to her vision loss.
"I'm not good at being on my own at all, nor would I be now. And fortunately, I don't have to now because I pretend to have no eyesight."
"It has become impossible and, because I have a photographic memory, I need to find a machine that not only teaches me my lines but also tells me where they appear on the page."
