'You find a way': Judi Dench on working through sight loss

Actor describes being helped with lines and learning by repetition at event for the Vision Foundation

Dame Judi Dench has spoken of her determination to carry on working despite sight loss, even if that means using friends to learn lines and being gently told to stop delivering speeches to the proscenium arch rather than her fellow actors.

Dench described how she copes with deteriorating eyesight - the challenges, the unexpected advantages and the funny side - at an online event on Thursday with Stephen Fry and Hayley Mills for the Vision Foundation, the London sight loss charity.
