Zeenat Aman has opened up about her eye condition, ptosis, and recently underwent surgery to fix her drooping eyelid. The actor penned a long note about how the 40-year-old injury had started to affect her vision until one day, she convinced herself to get treatment for it. She also thanked her industry colleagues who agreed to work with her despite the eye injury that changed her appearance a bit.
Sharing a heartwarming picture of her son Zahaan kissing her forehead before taking her to the operation theatre, Zeenat Aman revealed that she underwent surgery just a day after she shot for a leading international magazine. “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,” she wrote
Opening up about her eye condition, she wrote, “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 known 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. A few years ago it became so acute that it began to obstruct my vision
She said the treatments available to her at the time of injury and even much later, were unsuccessful. She finally met an ophthalmologist in April this year who informed her about surgery to lift the eyelid.
