Director-writer Selma Vilhunen says in his recent Instagram update that he lost the sight in one eye due to cataracts. The sight was restored in the operation a year ago.

– A year ago, I got my other eye back after the cataract had completely destroyed its vision, Vilhunen writes on Instagram.

– Thank you to all you kind taxpayers, when you made the cut, he continues.

In his publication, Vilhunen has shared a picture of himself. You can see from the picture that the pupil of one eye is significantly larger than the other.

According to the Health Library, cataract means a condition where the lens of the eye is clouded and transmits light poorly. If the vision has deteriorated so much that it is a substantial inconvenience, cataracts can be treated with surgery. During the operation, the lens of the eye, or the pupil, is removed, and an artificial pupil is placed in its place.

Cataracts are a particularly common problem in people over 65 years of age, of whom more than 30 percent have a cataract change that impairs vision.

Selma Vilhunen, born in 1976, is known for her films, among other things A girl named Sparrow, Silly young heart and Four small adults and from the television series Best year ever.

A short film directed by Vilhunen Do I have to take care of everything? (2012) was the second Finnish film ever to receive an Oscar nomination.
