Claudia Winkleman’s devastating health battle as she ‘can’t see own face properly’

Claudia Winkleman has spoken out about a medical condition that is preventing her vision.

Millions of viewers enjoy the 53-year-old presenter’s ability to guide contestants through difficulties, successes, and trials. While the star is praised by many for her hosting abilities, she has also gained popularity for her own personal aesthetic in the areas of makeup, hair, and wardrobe.

Many people are unsure of how much of the world the TV star can see through her thick, dark locks because Claudia has been playfully ribbed for her statement fringe, which frequently flops over her eyes. The actress has since admitted that she frequently finds herself struggling to see because of her poor vision.

She revealed that she had had her lenses replaced on Gabby Logan’s podcast The Midpoint. My eyes have undergone so many operations. Because of my severe astigmatism, I was minus 16 when I had my left eye replaced.

Claudia continued, stating that over time, her vision has changed, shifting from short-sighted to long-sighted. She continued, “Then I had a little fiddling, but by the time I was corrected, I’m now long sighted, and I can’t really read any more. I can read The Bee Sting while wearing glasses and that light, and I have plus 2.5.

The BBC star has previously shared her sight-related struggles. She discussed having laser surgery after receiving advice from Moorfields Eye Hospital in London, but she revealed she still has blurry vision. Claudia said, “A lit candle and everything is just a little fuzzy round the outside,” while discussing the How to Fail podcast.

I was born with minus 15, so I’ve never really been able to see my face. All of it is guesswork. Since then, I’ve had several operations because I kept crashing into walls. But I still wear glasses, lenses, or whatever. However, everything is illogical; it’s just a rough idea of how I’d like to live. I don’t want to live in a perfect place. I want to live in a “fuzzy” world.

I’m past the other end, if there’s perfection in this, people who want things to look good, organized, and ordered, and then there’s the other end. I enjoy the messy, ramshackle, and irregular. Just a moment, consider how I apply my eye makeup. I’m not very good at being tidy.

Finding humor in her situation, she said: “Ozzy Osbourne, I don’t understand why the kids have been playing with my phone with the camera turned on. I didn’t even invite him over, and I thought, “Oh, I’m fine. “

She explained her theory that her limited vision has made her enjoy the murky paintings by Rembrandt and Chiaroscuro while providing an insight into her world-viewing perspective.

She expressed her admiration for Chiaroscuro. I adore smudged, but I never enjoy pin sharp. Look at the photos on my phone, they all have some flaws. Because I was confused, I lost 18, 000 of which are just a sofa ends. I’ve always had terrible eyesight, which is a reflection of how blurry I’d really like life be without overhead lights. In the 17th century, that is where I would have completely smashed it.
