- Reading Huong's post on her personal page a few days ago about the doctor saying she might go blind, how is Huong's current health?

My eyes are now quite bad and getting weaker and weaker, I can't see clearly anymore. The doctor said I need to replace both eyes with artificial lenses and some other problems. I've been having a lot of financial problems lately, and now I'm having health problems, so I'm quite stressed. There are a lot of unhappy things happening at the same time, so I feel very sad...

- When did you notice your eyes starting to have problems?

I noticed that my eyes started to blur last year. However, the signs were not much and because of my busy work, I didn't pay much attention. I just thought that my eyes were blurry sometimes because of eye strain. However, when the Covid-19 epidemic started, I realized that my eyes had obvious signs, so I went to the doctor for a check-up. I went to the doctor's private clinic but at the same time, I discovered patient number 17, so the doctor refused to examine me. The doctor advised me to go to the hospital if it was urgent. I thought my eyes were fine, and the epidemic was breaking out, so I decided to "live with it". When the epidemic and quarantine ended, I went for a check-up and the doctor said that if I didn't have surgery, my eyes would go blind.

Few people know that this female MC with beautiful eyes is gradually losing her eyesight.

- When you heard the news, how did Huong deal with it? Have you calmed down and accepted the truth now?

When I went to the doctor, I also determined in my mind that I would have to have surgery, but I did not think that if I did not have surgery, I would go blind. The feeling that everything was bad at once made me feel sorry for myself, but in front of the doctor, I did not dare to cry. The doctor asked me if I wanted to have surgery right away. Of course, everyone wanted to do it right away, who wanted to go blind? But at that time, I hesitated and asked the doctor if the cost was too high. When I got home, I cried and could not sleep for several days, thinking about it every time I closed my eyes, I could hardly sleep and stayed up all night quite a lot.

- During the time when you discovered the disease and were depressed, who was there to encourage you to overcome it?

Actually, at first I kept it a secret from everyone. Now my mother knows. And when I posted the information on Facebook, my cousins ​​asked about me, my friends and colleagues also asked and encouraged me a lot. I have always lived independently and rarely shared. Because I didn't want my family to worry, I didn't tell them. Actually, when I went to work, I was afraid that people would think about my health because after all, I still needed to work and wanted to function like normal people.

Thu Huong is associated with many reality shows and impresses with her smiling face.

- How far can you see now? Do you have any major difficulties in daily life or work?

When I go out, my vision is very blurry and hard to see. If I look down at my phone, I can't see anything. Many times when I go out now, I have to ask my friends or colleagues to guide me down the stairs because I can't see clearly. There were a few times when I stood in front of the door and couldn't tell which were the stairs and which were the slopes going down. I had to feel my feet to guess. It was very funny. When I walked down, I felt embarrassed because I was worried that people around me wouldn't understand that I had a problem with my eyes.

Sometimes I feel like there is a veil covering my eyes. When I go to the doctor, the eye test machine can no longer measure my eyes. When I have to cover my eyes, I can only see white and no longer see the black letters. The doctor has to use his finger to see if I can recognize the numbers. One time when I was out with my friend, I thought there was smoke in front of me and covered my mouth with my hand.

Before I discovered the disease, there was a time when I was presenting the news and I only saw a white flash before my eyes, I couldn't see anything. At that time, I didn't understand why, I just quickly memorized the script so that everyone wouldn't have to wait and waste time. At first, when I read the board, I saw occasional blurring but I thought it was just a passing thing, but then I went to the movies, 80% of the time I couldn't read the subtitles on the screen so I went to get checked.

Thu Huong said that even putting on her own makeup now is very difficult because she can't see clearly in the mirror.

- As a TV MC, how has your eye problem affected your work? Do you film a lot these days?

For at least a month now, I have been almost inactive. When I first found out, I still went to work as usual, but I have become increasingly faint and weak, and it is more difficult to walk. Now it is difficult to read the script. Even though I still have a filming schedule, I feel like I am hosting without seeing anything, like my brain is no longer working, my thinking is not flexible anymore. Before, I knew many people in the profession like you.Thanh Van Hugohave eye problems,ProsecutorI also have feelings to share with them but I never thought that one day it would happen to me, even worse, I had both eyes. But luckily, surgery is still possible.

- How much do you expect the surgery to cost and when do you plan to have it?

It's a lot, if I have surgery on both eyes and deal with some other problems, it will cost around 100 million. Compared to many people, it may not be too much, but for me right now, it's a large amount of money.

I still don't know exactly what the cause is, the doctors can only guess. Yesterday I went to see a very good eye doctor, he said it's time for surgery, I shouldn't wait any longer. The surgery is scheduled to take place in a month, but I think the sooner the better.
