Judi Dench's eye condition means she can no longer recognise friends

Dame Judi Dench has revealed the extent of her worsening eyesight, admitting she can no longer recognise friends. The renowned actress, 90, was diagnosed with age-related macular degeneration in 2012, which can cause permanent and rapid central vision loss, and is the number one cause of vision loss in people over 50. She has now revealed that her eyesight has deteriorated so much that she can't watch television, see to read or recognise faces.
