According to Hathaway, he had premature cataracts between the ages of 30 and 40, which caused his eyesight to deteriorate significantly. The condition affected his vision “so much that I was basically blind in my left eye,” he said, adding that it caused him a lot of stress. “I had surgery,” she shared. “And I didn’t realize how bad it was until I finally saw the whole spectrum.“He also revealed that this situation affected him more widely than he thought. “I’ve been calm ever since. I didn’t realize it was really taxing my nervous system,” he added.

Following the procedure, Hathaway said she developed a deep appreciation for her eyesight. “I’m grateful for the sight because I literally feel like every day, I wake up and look the way I do, it’s a miracle,” she said. “I’ve honestly said, ‘Oh, two generations ago, that wouldn’t have been an option for someone like me.'” So I actually feel very connected to that kind of miracle.”

Hathaway has also been candid about other aspects of her health in recent weeks. In an interview with Elle on Thursday, May 21, she addressed rumors of whether or not she has undergone recent plastic surgery, sharing that she prefers never to comment on such speculation in general.“We’re in an age where people feel very confident about what they believe to be true, and sometimes what they believe is accurate and sometimes not,” he said. “The speculation has gotten so loud that you feel the need to just get your truth out there.”He also rejected the nature of the assumptions made. “These are big medical decisions that people think of. I wanted to show that, no, I didn’t make a big medical decision. It’s just two braids,” she said, referring to a tutorial she shared on how to get an updo with a braid hairstyle.Then he added with characteristic honesty, “By the way, the other thing about all this is, you might get a face some day.”On the work front, Hathaway was last seen in ‘The Devil Wears Prada 2’ and will next appear in Christopher Nolan’s highly anticipated ‘The Odyssey’ on July 17.
