The Oscar-winning actress, who revealed she couldn't read scripts on her own anymore, addresses the issue: "In response to the numerous articles in the media concerning my eye condition–macular degeneration–I do not wish for this to be overblown."

She adds, "This condition is something that thousands and thousands of people all over the world are having to contend with. It's something that I have learnt to cope with and adapt to—and it will not lead to blindness."
