Anne Hathaway Shares She Was Legally Blind in One Eye for 10 Years
The actress said an early-onset cataract left her legally blind in one eye and fueled her response to online surgery rumors.
- During an appearance on The New York Times podcast Popcast, actress Anne Hathaway, 43, revealed she was 'legally blind' in one eye throughout her 30s due to an early-onset cataract lasting about 10 years.
- While cataracts are commonly associated with aging, they can occur in younger people and make everyday tasks like reading and driving extremely difficult, according to Vision Australia and Mayo Clinic.
- The condition impacted Hathaway's vision so severely she required surgery, only realizing after recovery how significantly it had taxed her nervous system. She now describes her restored vision as a 'miracle.'
- In an Elle interview published on May 21, Hathaway explained she normally stays silent on speculation but felt compelled to share her truth, saying 'the speculation has gotten so loud that you do feel the need to just get your truth out there.'
- The disclosure coincided with her packed film slate, including The Devil Wears Prada 2 released earlier this month and The Odyssey coming in July, underscoring how she quietly managed the health challenge throughout her career.
