I was half blind for 10 yrs, says Anne

Anne Hathaway says early-onset cataract left her half blind throughout her 30s 

Anne Hathaway has revealed that she spent nearly a decade “half blind” due to an early-onset cataract. Opening up about the private medical condition in a recent interview, the 43-year-old actor said she was “legally blind” in one eye throughout her 30s before eventually undergoing surgery that restored her vision.

“This is maybe too much information,” Hathaway said, adding, “I was half blind for 10 years,” as quoted by Page Six. The Devil Wears Prada star explained that the condition severely affected her eyesight.

“It impacted my vision so much that I was basically legally blind out of my left eye and I wound up getting surgery,” she said, adding, “And I didn’t realize how bad it had gotten until I could finally see the full spectrum.”

Hathaway also reflected on the emotional and physical impact the condition had on her daily life.

“I’ve calmed down since then,” she said, adding, “I didn’t realize it was actually taxing my nervous system,” as quoted by Page Six.
