Dame Judi Dench has provided an update on her deteriorating eyesight, saying she is unable to attend events alone and requires someone to “always be with me”.
In 2012, Dench first revealed that she had been diagnosed with age-related macular degeneration (AMD), a degenerative eye condition which is the biggest cause of sight loss in the UK, affecting more than 700,000 people, according to the Macular Society. While the condition does not cause total blindness, it can make everyday activities quite difficult.
