FAMOUS PERFORMERS WHO STRUGGLED WITH VISION IMPAIRMENT
Even Stars Have Eyesight Issues
Vision impairments can affect anyone — even the superstars we idolize. Here are three famous performers who struggled with poor eyesight.
Golden Globe in “Black Swan,” no one knew. For the better part of Mila Kunis’ career, she was completely blind in one eye. In 2011, she revealed to Cosmopolitan that iritis (chronic inflammation of the iris) had caused blindness. She had a surgery a couple of months before the interview and is no longer impaired.
JOHN GOODMAN
JOHNNY DEPP
Notable for roles such as Fred Flintstone, Dan Conner, and Walter Sobchak, John Goodman has been a Hollywood mainstay for over 30 years. But most people don’t know that he took a break in 2013 to deal with health issues, the biggest of which was a surgery to correct his cataracts. Cataracts result from a condition in which the lens of the eye becomes cloudy, thus impairing vision. One standard procedure Goodman had done was to replace that damaged lens with a clear artificial implant.
A little-known fact about Captain Jack Sparrow is that he actually wears contacts. Well, not Jack Sparrow per say, but the actor who portrayed him does. Johnny Depp is one of the most beloved actors in all of Hollywood, but did you know he is nearly blind in his left eye and nearsighted in his right eye? Depp prefers to depict his characters with glasses because without them, he can only see a few inches in front of him. The good news for all of these on-screen talents is that they had solutions for their vision impairment. If you struggle with poor eyesight, you have an answer, as well.
