Headline: Jake Gyllenhaal celebrates 'advantage' of being legally blind
Caption: The 43-year-old Hollywood heartthrob was diagnosed with sight issues as a child and has 20/1250 vision meaning he has to wear powerful glasses in order to see and is registered as legally blind. He has been wearing corrective lenses since he was six years old and has now opened up about the positive effect it has had on him. He told The Hollywood Reporter, "I like to think it's advantageous... I've never known anything else. When I can't see in the morning, before I put on my glasses, it's a place where I can be with myself."
