Elton John has been dealing with a serious eye infection in recent months, which has significantly affected his vision. He is currently undergoing long-term treatment, and although the progress is slow, it offers hope for improvement. During these difficult times, he is supported by his family and specialists, a fact he frequently mentions.
Elton John remains in touch with fans, occasionally sharing updates about his health. In an interview with "Good Morning America," he recently admitted that he still cannot see in his right eye.
I unfortunately lost my eyesight in my right eye in July because I had an infection in the south of France. And it’s been four months now since I haven’t been able to see. And my left eye’s not the greatest - Elton John said recently on "Good Morning America."

Nevertheless, Elton John tries to remain optimistic and hopes to recover soon. However, he has moments of doubt, especially when it comes to work and being unable to utilize all his senses fully.
So, there’s hope and encouragement that it will be OK. But I’m kind of stuck in the moment because I can do something like this [the interview], but going into the studio and recording, I don’t know. Because I can’t see, a lyric for start. We’re taking an initiative to try and make it better," he said, without giving specifics. "I can’t see anything, I can’t read anything, I can’t watch anything," Elton John said.
The artist hopes to complete the record after his treatment concludes.
It’s been awhile since I’ve done anything and I just have to get off my backside - he added.
