Last hours of 2025 in hospital for Mara Venier. The presenter of Sunday In she announced on social media that she had undergone a new operation on her right eye, after the one in November. A decidedly different end of the year than he had imagined, which he wanted to share with his followers, once again showing his ability to face difficulties with irony and transparency.
The video from the hospital
Venier published a story on Instagram in which she appears lying on a bed, with a bandaged eye and a blue shirt. In the video, shot directly from the hospital room, the message is simple but direct: “Let’s end the year like this. Happy New Year everyone. Let’s hope it really is the end of this year.” Words that tell of the tiredness of complicated months, but also the desire to move on. The image, with the transparent bandage covering her eye, immediately went viral among fans, who sent her hundreds of messages of support.
The problem and thanks
The presenter suffers from maculopathy, a pathology that affects the retina and which can compromise vision. “I had a sudden hemorrhage in the retina of my right eye,” he explained in the past. For this reason, in recent months she has undergone several operations, five last year alone. This time too she did not fail to thank Professor Andrea Cusumano, the specialist who has been following her for some time and who has become a point of reference in her battle against the disease.
The context and the disease
Last November 9th Venier also spoke about maculopathy live on Sunday Intelling viewers about the difficulty of living with a pathology that requires constant care and frequent checks. Maculopathy is a degenerative disease that affects the central part of the retina, which is essential for clear vision. Despite the difficulties, Venier continued to lead the program, demonstrating great professionalism and resilience.
