Blind Item #2

This A list mostly movie actress who is still very young and an Academy Award winner/nominee might have to stop making movies in the next year or two unless she has surgery to correct a problem with her vision. She is slowly going blind.

I say this based on the chance she may have that degenerative eye illness that often affects people with very light eyes(like hers)

Mama Bear said...

JLaw?

Sugar said...

Hailey Steinfeld

Jennifer said...

Jlaw - for all her clumsiness

Just Another HR Lady said...

So a very famous, young, oscar nominated actress needs vision surgery.

It does sound like JLaw, she does wear glasses, and she's fallen down/tripped more than once.

FrenchGirl said...

AnneE wears glasses so she's my guess
I think that Dame Judi Dench's vision problem is known ( it's why she stopped to act M in Bond movies)

jayjay said...

J-Law also has a lazy eye, if not treated properly it can lead to blindness. I had a cousin with a lazy eye, she didn't do all of the eye exercises the doctors told her to do and she ended up losing her vision.

Kidman wishes she was young 😂

Squinty Eyes Zellweger

Sarah said...

Hailee Steinfeld is who came to mind based on the wording.

Tricia13 said...

True...lol but young in a general sense...not 45+.Or 60's etc..That's how I read it

Violet said...

Blimey. Not one of the doctors we saw for V jr 1 's lazy eye ever suggested he might go blind.

Eros said...

+1 for jlaw

Sophie Helene said...

@Derek The expression is wet *behind* the ears. I understand it as the baby is still not dry yet.

Apparently this also is what Wikipedia thinks:
Etymology[edit]
c. 1850, Pennsylvania, calque from German feucht hinter den Ohren.[1][2]

From the drying of amniotic fluid on a baby after birth, specifically a new-born farm animal, which last dries behind the ears (partly because licked dry by mother everywhere else).[2][3] German variants (still wet behind the ears, not yet dry behind the ears, green behind the ears) also borrowed.[1]

I don't know that people with a lazy eye necessarily go blind in the traditional sense. What happens is the brain eventually cuts off input from that eye because it's giving crazy messages. Important to follow whatever treatment the doc suggests.

@Sophie--cool thanks : )

PugsterMom said...

I have had a lazy eye since birth, I'm over 50 and that was never ever a warning to me. I've never heard that.

Frufra said...

FWIW, my oldest had amblyopia (lazy eye) that was corrected by two seperate surgeries when he was little. And whoever said upthread that the brain will eventually turn off the image from the wandering eye (sorry, if I scroll up my ipad will freeze up!) is right on. Take good care of your eyes! I was told by several different doctors that surgery was the only way to correct - eye exercises are supposedly useless. Of course, these doctors were surgeons, so take that with a grain of salt.

Tina Mallette said...

People with Type 1 Diabetes who do not take care of themselves often go blind at a young age, seen it happen many times.

Tina Mallette said...

There is also a lot of eye diseases I have never heard of until my parents got older but some of them can manifest when you are much younger. You don't tend to get your eyes checked as frequently when you are younger if you don't have glasses so you could have one of these degenerative conditions and not find out until it is too late to do anything about it if there is anything they can do.

Tina Mallette said...

I find seeing your eyeball on the screen at the eye doctor looking like Mars is surreal yet cool.

jayjay said...

About the lazy eye and my cousin going blind... she didn't do any of the things the doctor told her to do. I'm not talking a few years, more like 20 years of not doing anything the doctor was telling her to do because she thought she'd be fine. So if someone follows doctors orders then they're probably fine, but if you don't follow them for 20 years, well, you may lose your sight.

jayjay said...

@Frufra Yeah, my cousin was told she needed the surgery, but she was scared of going through with it. She didn't really like doctors a whole lot, eventually died of cancer because of it. Had a growth coming out of her neck the size of an orange and she still didn't go.

Basically, everyone go to the doctor for regular checkups!

Sherry said...

Wow not to diminish the debate about lazy eye causing eventual blindness, but it's super sad whoever this is. I can imagine if it's JLaw she's going to be all the more devastated because she's wanted to act forever and a day. My sincere condolences to whomever is fighting this affliction.

Unknown said...

The nuns were right: you will go blind. Or at least that's what I told myself as I had my procedure this last summer.

Jonathan Andrew Sheen said...

Dame Judy Dench's failing eyesight is indeed well-known, but it's not why she was written out of the Bond series.

She's given interviews in which she said she's very sorry not to be continuing as M, and that she would love to continue in the series, including as the ghost of M, which idea she found delightfully and amusingly Shakespearean.

She was written out because the producers felt her death would be a good dramatic choice to climax that movie, and move the series back toward the vision of Bond as we originally saw him in the beginning of the series. No more, no less.

8====D KermitGossnellKnobjob said...

If you think Dench is "young"...

It doesn't have to be lazy eye, it can be glaucoma, which can even affect babies, and makes you blind. It's a very serious illness, not deadly, but serious.

Dena said...

Amy Adams just because she's young, A, & Oscar nominated.

auntliddy said...

Pug vi jay- also have lazy eye, but i can see and no one told me I wld go blind. FROM THAT. Lol

auntliddy said...

Whoever it is, this completely stinks. Hope it works out ok. Have we had any blind actresses? Or actors? I cant think of any!

Alexa Rose said...

Halle Berry.

kelliknows said...

Macular degeneration rarely is seen in young people but it's possible and insidious..it stole years from my mom's life despite treatment. Don't know who this is but I wish them well.

Unknown said...

Looking at candids of Anne Hathaway, it appears that from time-to-time she wears huge glasses. Girl, you better get it checked out before it leaves permanent damages to your vision. Amy Adams would be my second choice.

Although, the "mostly movie actress" throws me off. These woman are strictly movie actresses, they don't do television.

LooLooEasy said...

I think Anne's huge glasses are more an accessory to her hipster Brooklyn look than actually needed. This could also be a nominee, and I'm eliminating anyone over 35 as being "still young." Maybe Kate Hudson.

SugarTitz said...

why hasn't parasite hiltons lazy eye taken her down yet??

0_0 said...

There are all sorts of things that can go wrong with eyes. Central serous retinopathy will mess up your sight, optometrists won't find anything is amiss even if you tell them, and when it is finally addressed, the retina in that area can be permanently damaged.
And one of the things they tell you after the diagnosis is, avoid stress. "You have something to cause you stress, but don't stress over it."

Unknown said...

Little Q-alphabet name girl.

FrenchGirl said...

@LooLooEasy
AnnE's glasses are real corrective glasses .She's myopic

KevinA said...

Uh, JL wears glasses? When?

Is Steinfeld A-list?

MinPinGirl said...

Not everyone who wears black frame glasses is a hipster wanna-be. Some people just like those frames and it has nothing to do with what may or may not be trendy. What I want to know is who are the ACTUAL hipsters because i only hear about people who want to look like them or people who are hipster wannabes. There don't seem to be any "real" hipsters.

Unknown said...

Sophie. I love etymology. Thanks for the education!

Unknown said...

Hairy palms QueenAnne.

So sad.

Madison Ivy or Lexi Diamond.

kpist said...

I have a form of uveitis that is degenerative. I am only 42, but I have to give myself an injection of steroids once a week and once a year get a direct shot in the eye. If I didn't do this, I would go blind.

librariantobe said...

I've never seen JLaw wear any glasses except sunglasses and given how word vomitingly honest she is, I would think she'd have said something about this by now. I don't think this is her. Whoever it is, this is sad, my best wishes to them.

Yes, take care of your eyes, people. My aunt has glaucoma (it runs in the family) and it can lead to blindness so get your eye check-ups done. [/PSA]

Unknown said...

I think this is Halle Berry. She has Type 1 diabetes and that can affect eyesight.
