Johnny Depp Is Almost Blind

Johnny Depp has revealed he is almost completely blind in one eye and
near-sighted in the other.
The 'Lone Ranger' star, who is rarely photographed without apair of
tinted glasses, claims he has been "basically blind as a bat" in his
left eye since birth and the problem is impossible to correct.
The 50-year-old actor told theJuly issue of Rolling Stone magazine
that all of his glasses are prescription and herelies heavily on them.
He explained: "Everything is just very, very blurry. I've never had
proper vision."
The 'Pirates of the Caribbean' star, who has two children, Lily-Rose,
14, and Jack, 11, with his ex-girlfriend Vanessa Paradis, said he can
only see afew inches from his face if he is playing a character that
does not wear glasses or sunglasses.
Meanwhile, the actor, who is now dating actress Amber Heard, also
revealed that he thinks about retiring from Hollywood "every day", but
is unlikely to do so in the near future.
He said: "I think while I've got the opportunity and the desire and
the creative spark to do the things that I can doright now, I should
do them. And then, at a certain point, just take it down to the bare
minimum and concentrate on,I guess, living life. Really living life.
And going somewhere where you don't have to be on the run, or sneak in
through the kitchen or the underground labyrinth of the hotel. At a
certain point, when you get old enough or get a few brain cells back,
you realise that, onsome level, you lived a life of a fugitive."
But he added: "I don't know ifI can relax. Relax, I can't do. My
brain, on idle, is a bad thing. I just get weird. I mean, not weird. I
get, I get antsy."
