- 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 many unhappy things happening at the same time, so I feel very sad...

- When did you first notice problems with your eyes?

I noticed that my eyes started to get blurry 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 sometimes tired and blurred. However, when the Covid-19 epidemic started, I noticed that my eyes had obvious signs, so I went to the doctor to get checked. 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 sight.

- When you heard the news, how did Huong face 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 the same time 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.

- When you discovered your illness and were depressed, who was there to encourage you to overcome it?

Actually, at first I hid it from everyone. Now my mother knows. And when I posted the information on Facebook, my cousins ​​also asked, my friends and colleagues also asked, encouraged a lot. Before now, I lived independently and rarely shared. Because I didn't want my family to worry, I didn't tell. Actually, when I went to work, I was also 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, I have to ask my friends and colleagues to lead 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 looked 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, one time while presenting the news, I only saw a white flash in front of 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 at work. When I first discovered it, I still went to work as usual, but I have become increasingly faint and weak, it is more difficult to walk, and now it is difficult to read the script. Even though I still have a filming schedule, I feel like I am hosting but I can't see 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 have ear problems, I also have feelings to share with them but I never thought that one day it would happen to me, even worse, I have both eyes. But luckily I can still have surgery.

- 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 some other problems, it will cost around 100 million. It may not be much for many people, but for me right now, it's a lot 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.
