Rema’s esteemed colleage, Tiwa Savage also recently opened up about her challenges with declining eyesight.

In a series of Instagram stories, the afrobeats singer shared her struggle over the past two to three years, noting that reading has become increasingly difficult due to blurry vision.

After consulting with an optician in London, she learned that her long-range vision is somewhat acceptable, but her short-range vision is problematic.

Tiwa Savage disclosed that she obtained a pair of recommended glasses to deal with the problem.

She said: “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.

“So my long sight is okay for now, he said, not great; but my short sight (shakes her head). 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?”.
