Roseanne previously revealed she is suffering from eye diseases macular degeneration and glaucoma, which are causing her to lose her sight.
Speaking of how macular degeneration is causing her field of vision to narrow, she said: "My vision is closing in now. It's something weird. But there are other weird things.
"That one's harsh, 'cause I read a lot, and then I thought, 'Well, I guess I could hire somebody to read for me and read to me.' But I like words and I like looking. You do what you have to do. I just try and enjoy vision as much as possible - y'know, living it up."
And the 'Roseanne' star revealed the problem runs in her family.
She added: "My dad had it, too."
