Zeenat Aman Suffering From THIS Condition Since 40 Yrs, Undergoes Surgery

Veteran Bollywood actress Zeenat Aman has opened up about her eye injury that she suffered 40 year ago and suffered because of it all these years. She revealed how it started to affect her vision and she continued to suffer due to lack of treatment in the past. Sharing some pictures from the hospital, Zeenat revealed that she went under the knife recently as the doctors informed her that there have been advancements in the medical field and and a surgery to lift her eyelid and restore my field of vision was possible.

Zeenat wrote, "On 18th May 2023, I shot for the cover of Vogue India. On 19th May 2023, I woke up early in the morning, packed a small suitcase, and kissed Lily on her muzzle. Then Zahaan and Cara drove me to Hinduja hospital in Khar. There has been an elephant in the room with me for the past 40 years. It is time to show this elephant the door. I have a condition know as ptosis - the result of an injury I suffered many decades ago that damaged the muscles around my right eye. Over the years, it caused my eyelid to droop further and further. And a few years ago it became so acute that it began to obstruct my vision. When so much of one’s career is predicated on one’s appearance, coming to terms with a dramatic change to it is difficult. I know for a fact that this ptosis narrowed my opportunities and made me the subject of unwanted attention. But despite the gossip, the comments, and the questions, I never felt diminished by it. It helped of course that there were always a few stalwarts that stood by me and chose to work with me still."

She further added, "The treatments available to me at that time, and for decades after, were unsuccessful. Then this year in April, a leading ophthalmologist informed me that things had advanced, and a surgery to lift the eyelid and restore my field of vision was possible. I dithered for a long time, then underwent a battery of tests and finally committed to the procedure. That morning in the hospital I was terrified. My extremities turned icy and involuntarily shivers racked my body. Zahaan kissed my forehead, reassured me and wheeled me to the OT, where I surrendered to the hands of my medical team. I emerged from there an hour later - alive, well and looking like a pirate with an eye patch."

"Recovery has been slow, steady and is ongoing. But I’m happy to share that my vision is so much clearer now," concluded the actress.

I never went away.” In Vogue India’s July-August issue, cover star Zeenat Aman ( thezeenataman) pulls back the curtain on her life, penning her own story with the trademark lyricism that everyone has come to know and love.
