Tiwa Savage, the celebrated Nigerian Afrobeat sensation, recently opened up about her struggle with impaired eyesight in a candid revelation that resonated deeply with her fans. In a heartfelt video shared on her Instagram page, Tiwa Savage provided a poignant update on her ocular health, shedding light on a condition that has been quietly plaguing her for the past two to three years.
With raw honesty, Tiwa Savage disclosed that she has been grappling with persistent squinting, a telltale sign of her visual impairment. She lamented how her vision blurs uncomfortably whenever she attempts to read, a disconcerting development that has only exacerbated in recent times.
In a poignant moment of vulnerability, the songstress revealed the lengths to which she must go to overcome her visual challenges, admitting that she often resorts to capturing screenshots of messages before magnifying them on her camera for legibility—a makeshift solution to cope with her deteriorating eyesight.
Seeking professional guidance, Tiwa Savage sought the expertise of an optician in London, hoping for clarity and a remedy to alleviate her discomfort. The diagnosis delivered a bittersweet revelation: while her long-distance vision remained intact, her nearsightedness proved to be a significant hindrance.
Armed with newfound awareness, Tiwa Savage procured a pair of prescription glasses, a pragmatic measure aimed at easing her ocular strain. In a lighthearted moment tinged with self-deprecation, she playfully pondered aloud whether her newfound accessory detracted from her trademark allure, injecting a touch of humor into an otherwise sobering revelation.
Tiwa Savage’s candid disclosure not only humanized her celebrity persona but also sparked a wave of empathy and support from her devoted fan base. Her willingness to confront and share her struggles serves as a poignant reminder of the universality of human experiences and the importance of prioritizing self-care, even amidst the relentless demands of stardom.
“Guys the last two or three years, I have been noticing that I will be squinting sometimes and when I read some stuff, it would be getting blurry. And in the last few months, I noticed it got really bad that sometimes I will have to screen grab a message and then go back into my camera and zoom. So when I was in London, I said let me go and see the Optician. So my long sight is okay for now, he said, not great; but my short sight (shakes her head). Like literally, I will be in a restaurant and I won’t be able to read the menu. But for now, your girl is back and you know I needed to make some luxury and got myself a cartel pair because ABG don’t play. Do I still look sexy?”.
