Judi Dench: I'm not going blind

Oscar-winning British actress Judi Dench, who has revealed she is suffering from AMD, tried to downplay fears over her failing sight, saying that she is not going blind. 


She told Reuters in a statement: "In response to the numerous articles in the media concerning my eye condition - macular degeneration - I do not wish for this to be overblown.

"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."

Dench, 77, has said she has no plans to retire. Her seventh Bond film, Skyfall, is due to be released later this year and she is currently promoting The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel, a comedy-drama set in India.
