I was half blind for 10 years.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It impacted my vision so much that I was basically legally blind out of my left eye and I wound up getting surgery. And I didn\u2019t realise how bad it had gotten until I could finally see the full spectrum.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Anne went on to reveal she felt a lot better after the operation and called being able to see again a &#8220;miracle&#8221;, saying; &#8220;I\u2019ve calmed down since then. I didn\u2019t realise it was actually taxing my nervous system &#8230;<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;I appreciate vision because I literally feel like every day, I wake up and I get to see the way that I do, it\u2019s a miracle. I actually am like: &#8216;Oh, two generations back, that wouldn\u2019t have been an option for someone like me.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;So, I actually do feel very connected to that kind of a miracle.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nIt comes after Anne recently revealed she hasn&#8217;t had any cosmetic surgery and slammed speculation she&#8217;d undergone a secret facelift.<\/p>\n<p>\nThe 43-year-old actress recently posted an Instagram video showcasing a trick her hairstylist uses to give her face a lift but rejected the suggestion that the clip was a &#8220;pointed denial&#8221; to cosmetic surgery rumours. <\/p>\n<p>\nAnne told ELLE magazine: &#8220;I wouldn\u2019t say pointed. But we\u2019re at a time when people feel very confident in assuming what they think is fact, and sometimes what they think is accurate and sometimes it\u2019s not. <\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;My preference would be to never comment on anything and to just live in the mystery and not draw attention to myself, but the speculation has gotten so loud that you do feel the need to just get your truth out there.<\/p>\n<p>\n &#8220;And I\u2019ll probably always wonder, &#8216;Should I have posted that or not? Should I have just kept going and done the thing that makes me happy and makes me feel more confident on the red carpet?\u2019 But I felt like the conversation was becoming distracting.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><!-- Pagination --><\/p>\n<p><!-- playbuzz --><br \/>\n<!-- end playbuzz--><\/p>\n<p><!-- \n\n<div data-cn-project=\"femalefirst\">\n    \n<\/div>\n\n --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n<!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<p>    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.femalefirst.co.uk\/celebrity\/anne-hathaway-legally-blind-10-years-secret-health-battle-1445010.html?f=rss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>26 May 2026 Anne Hathaway was &#8220;legally blind&#8221; in her left eye for 10 years during a secret health battle.
