Tiwa Savage opens up on poor eyesight, starts wearing glasses
Celebrated Nigerian Afrobeat artist, Tiwa Savage, has taken to her Instagram page to share a personal update regarding her health struggles, specifically concerning her eyesight.
In a video posted on her story on Thursday, February 15, 2024, the singer candidly addressed her challenges with poor vision, revealing that she has been experiencing difficulties over the past two to three years.
According to Tiwa Savage, reading has become increasingly challenging as her vision tends to blur, especially in recent times. She disclosed resorting to taking screenshots of messages and enlarging them using her camera to facilitate reading. Seeking professional assistance, she visited an optician in London who diagnosed her with issues primarily affecting her short-range vision, while her long-range vision was deemed somewhat satisfactory.
To address her discomfort, Tiwa Savage acquired a prescribed pair of glasses, though she humorously questioned whether she still exudes charm while wearing them. In her own words, she expressed her frustration with the deterioration of her eyesight, recounting instances where she struggled to read menus in restaurants.
“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," she said.

"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?”, she added.
Despite these challenges, Tiwa Savage's resilient spirit shines through as she humorously incorporates luxury into her solution by acquiring a pair of designer glasses. Her openness about her health struggle serves as a reminder of the importance of addressing and managing personal well-being, even amidst a bustling career.
