Robbie Williams has opened up about a frightening decline in his eyesight, admitting he’s now battling symptoms that are “only getting worse”

Robbie Williams has revealed new fears about his eyesight 

Robbie Williams has revealed new fears about his eyesight after noticing increasingly blurry vision during performances and in everyday life. The former Take That star, who has been open about using so-called “skinny jabs” to help manage his weight, says the change in his sight has become impossible to ignore — and he now worries the injections may be to blame. The 50-year-old says the issue crept up slowly, at first just making concerts a little harder.

But as the blur worsened, he began questioning whether his recent use of Mounjaro injections was having an unexpected impact. It was only when he found himself unable to clearly see audience members at shows that the worry turned serious. Speaking candidly, Robbie, 51, said he wanted fans to be aware of the risks he believes he’s now facing. He explained that although he was “quite an early adapter of the jabs”, something hasn’t felt right for a while.

He told: “I want to warn people reading this of the potential risks, to make sure they do their research. I was quite an early adapter of the jabs but what I’m also noticing is that my eyesight’s not very good.

“It’s been blurry for a while now, and it’s only getting worse. I don’t believe it’s age; I believe it’s the jabs. I went to an American football game the other night and the players were just blobs on a green field in front of me.”

The father-of-four said the problem became even clearer after needing a whole new set of glasses. His prescription had shifted so noticeably that even those close to him spotted a change.

“My prescription’s changed, and I had to buy a whole new load of glasses. Everybody’s experiencing it, because I’ll say to people, ‘Blurry, right?’. And they go, ‘Oh s**t, that the thing?’”

The star admits it’s been frightening, but says he still feels conflicted as the injections have also helped him regain physical confidence.

He said: “Of course it’s worrying and by being honest today, obviously I want to warn people reading this of the potential risks, to make sure they do their research. But seriously, I’m that sick I’d probably stay on it until the sight in one eye has completely gone.”

Manufacturer Lilly, which produces Mounjaro, responded with a firm assurance that safety remains its top priority.

A spokesperson said: “Patient safety is our top priority. We have ongoing discussions with regulators regarding potential safety topics, and we will continue to review data, including any regarding ophthalmic issues.

“If anyone is experiencing side-effects when taking a Lilly medicine, they should talk to their doctor or healthcare professional.”

Despite the concerns, the former boyband heartthrob says the jabs have also played a role in improving his fitness and mental wellbeing. After years of being open about his struggles, he now trains daily and can “do 100 dips, 200 press ups and 100 squats” alongside working on his core.

His next goal is to master pull-ups — and he’s even planning a facelift next year.
