Judi Dench unable to read scripts due to degenerative eye condition (Guardian)
much more at link aboveDame Judi Dench has revealed she can no longer read scripts due to her suffering from a degenerative condition that can lead to blindness.
The actor said she also cannot make out a person sitting opposite her at the dinner table because of the effects of macular degeneration, an eye condition that causes severe vision impairment.
Dench has undergone treatment that she hopes will stop the progression of the condition, which her mother also suffered from, and allow her to continue working.

Dench said that she learns scripts with the help of friends. "And so somebody comes in and reads them to me, like telling me a story. It's usually my daughter or my agent or a friend and actually I like that, because I sit there and imagine the story in my mind," she told the Mirror.
