Pietro Lombardi reports severe vision loss in his right eye
Singer Pietro Lombardi says vision in his right eye has fallen to 40%.
He has had blurred sight in that eye for weeks, and an eye doctor found that his cornea is severely thinned.
The cause of the problem is unclear, and Lombardi says his vision was initially clear after he had laser eye surgery about two years ago.
His doctor urged him to act quickly because his sight could worsen; Lombardi said he could lose vision in the eye entirely.
He is due to seek treatment at an eye clinic in Cologne.
Options include a special lens placed in the eye through surgery, but he has not yet chosen a treatment.
The next step is deciding which treatment is best for him.

What people are saying
It is really serious.
Below 20 percent, you are theoretically blind in that eye.
We have to do something quickly now, otherwise it will keep getting worse.
