Health status of the 'most beautiful woman of 2026'

Anne Hathaway revealed that she had been quietly dealing with a long-standing health issue for a decade, which severely affected her vision in her left eye.

According to Page Six , in an appearance in The New York Times , the 43-year-old actress revealed that her left eye had been almost completely blind for many years due to early-onset cataracts. This is a rare instance of Anne Hathaway publicly sharing about a health condition that has significantly impacted her life.

"Perhaps this is a bit too personal information. I was half-blind for 10 years," Anne Hathaway said. According to the actress, this condition severely affected her vision, to the point where she could barely see with her left eye and eventually had to undergo surgery.

Anne Hathaway also said that after the surgery, she felt more mentally stable. The actress realized that her long-term vision impairment had been putting pressure on her nervous system without her knowing. "Since then, I've been calmer. I didn't realize that it was actually putting pressure on my nervous system," she said.

According to the Mayo Clinic, cataracts are a condition where the lens of the eye becomes cloudy. People with cataracts often experience the sensation of seeing things through a foggy or misty window. This can make it difficult to read, drive at night, or clearly see facial expressions.

After undergoing surgery, Anne Hathaway said she considers her current eyesight a "miracle." The actress said that waking up each day and being able to see clearly is something she is grateful for.

Besides sharing about her health, Anne Hathaway recently drew attention for speaking out against rumors of plastic surgery circulating on social media. The actress stated that she tends not to comment on speculation about herself, as she doesn't want to attract further attention.

However, according to Anne Hathaway, the speculation had become so widespread that she felt the need to clarify the truth. She added: “We are in a time when people feel very confident in believing what they think is true. Sometimes what they think is accurate, but sometimes it isn’t.”
