Coronation Street star Lisa George has shared her fears after doctors diagnosed her with a genetic eye condition that could see her go blind.
Lisa, who plays Beth Tinker in the ITV soap, started to develop problems in 2016 when a gardening “incident” saw her lose the sight in her right eye.
As a result of being hit in the eye by a piece of rope, doctors told Lisa that she’d lost part of the sight at the bottom of her right eye. They then added that, unfortunately, it would never come back.

Lisa told the Daily Mail: “Corrie were great. They printed my scripts in a bigger font to make it easier but I just wasn’t getting any explanation as to what had happened. I had scans, dye put into my eyeball, but the doctors were split as to whether it was the trauma from the rope or something else that had caused the haemorrhage at the back of my eye.”
