Earlier this week, Bollywood actor Zeenat Aman revealed how she was dealing with an eye condition called ptosis due to an injury that she suffered many decades ago. In the post on social media, the actress says the injury damaged the muscles around her right eye. She continues, “Over the years, it has caused my eyelid to droop further and further. And a few years ago, it became so acute that it began to obstruct my vision.”

Aman narrates that while the treatments available at that time and over the decades were unsuccessful, she was contacted by a leading ophthalmologist in April this year. After being indecisive for some time, she decided to commit to the procedure after undergoing a series of tests. Now, Aman is recovering and has said her vision is much clearer than before. She is one of several celebrities who have spoken about their illnesses in the last year. Some of them include Vikram Bhatt and Samantha Ruth Prabhu, who suffer from fibromyalgia and myositis respectively. By sharing their personal stories, there has been a lot more awareness about them among people.
