The talented actor, Chief Bruno Iwuoha has gone blind due to an illness called glaucoma. The veteran actor has been said to have be battling with diabetics which has really affected him, thereby leading to complete wiping off of one of his eyes.
He said “I’ve gone to so many places; within the
country, outside the country for treatment, until finally…finally, the
thing [diabetes] claimed one of my sights. As I look at you now, I’m
using only one sight. They call that glaucoma. And gradually, it’s
affecting the other one. So, name make, apart from places…the people who
call me a times, both the little cash they can give me…drugs and all
that…but I discovered that this thing [the illness] is a lifetime
something. And it has robbed me of the job [acting]. And now, if I get a
script, it will be hard for me to read it very well. And if I read it,
if I strain my eyes for so long, it would look as if someone would lead
me around the house or anywhere I want to go because it will affect the
only one [eye]. So that’s my problem.”
The actor now needs to be transferred to a US-based hospital where he is required to have N3.5million, and all he has so far is N200, 000.
