Dame Judi Dench says she is using low-cost “AI glasses” to help her read performance scripts again after decades-long vision problems. The outlet reports that the actress has been searching for a way to learn her lines since her sight started deteriorating nearly 15 years ago. During that period, she also reportedly hired an assistant to read scripts for her. The article describes the AI glasses as costing about £300 and frames their use as a practical solution for her work. Dench’s comments highlight how she adapts to changing eyesight while continuing to act. The reporting focuses on the role the glasses play in enabling script reading and line preparation, but does not provide technical details about the device or independent verification of performance claims. Overall, the sources describe a personal account from Dench about addressing a long-term sight-loss challenge with assistive technology, allowing her to regain some ability to access scripts directly.
