Judi Dench says sight loss means she can no longer act or read
Actor Judi Dench, 91, says worsening age-related macular degeneration has ended her stage and film work and left her unable to read.
Judi Dench says she can no longer work as an actor because her eyesight has worsened. She told BBC Radio 4's Today programme on Thursday that she cannot appear on stage or in films and cannot read.
Dench is 91. She was diagnosed with age-related macular degeneration more than a decade ago, according to The Guardian and NBC News.
The Guardian reports the condition has also left her unable to recognise faces. It also reports she remains "besotted by" Shakespeare's sonnets.
