Judi Dench shares 'traumatic' details of decade-long health battle (HELLO!)

Who Do You Think You Are star Dame Judi was diagnosed with an eye condition in 2012, with her sight still deteriorating.

"Most of the time, AMD can be diagnosed before symptoms arise by an eye doctor," Dr Nish says. "Age-Related Macular degeneration (AMD) is an eye disease that affects one’s central vision where their sharpest vision occurs, causing vision loss," Dr Nish explains. "But I just know I'll kill somebody if I get behind the wheel of a car now," she explained. Judi added that she ensures Finty has regular eye tests in a bid to take stock of her sight. For Wet AMD, medications called anti-VEGF drugs can reduce the abnormal blood vessels, bleeding & swelling but cannot repair any previous vision loss." "Also, lifestyle changes such as dieting, exercising, avoiding smoking and protecting eyes from UV rays may help as well." I've realised that I need to know where it is on the page. So I ignore it altogether." I'm not doing anything much at the moment because I can't see." When asked when she thought she may lose her vision entirely she replied: "I don't want to say. You're just a tad fuzzy." Bad enough in that you're quite fuzzy.
