Takuya Kimura now Suffering from Presbyopia and Wears Tom Ford’s Glasses Costing 50,000 Yen

It seems that even that Kimura Kimutaku can’t win against the passing of the years.

Takuya Kimura was a guest on the January 25th broadcast of “Honma dekka⁉ TV” (Fuji TV). He and the host, Akashiya Sanma, predicted what would happen in the year 2023 as part of the “Great Prediction Presentation for the Year 2023.”

Kimura jumped on the theme, “Presbyopia will be improved by eye drops alone.”

“When I did a medical drama, presbyopia came on suddenly after a long shoot while I was using a microscope,” he said.

Kimura’s reaction to his own presbyopia became a hot topic on the Internet and elsewhere.

In fact, this is not the first time Kimura has come out about his presbyopia. In October 2019, Kimura appeared on “Pettanko Kankan” (TBS), where he revealed for the first time that he had presbyopia, causing a stir among viewers.

During a talk with Kazuki Sawamura, who also co-stars in the drama, Kimura confided that he was experiencing symptoms of presbyopia. When I was playing the role of a surgeon in “A LIFE – A Loved One,” which aired from January 2017, I was thinking about reading the newspaper in the morning, and I said, ‘What’s this…huh? and that he felt discomfort in his eyes,” said a sports newspaper reporter.

Even if he’s good-looking, he’s going to get presbyopia.
I’d like to see him in reading glasses.

I’d like to see him with reading glasses. The response to the superstar’s confession was quite strong.

So much so that even at the time, people wondered, “What kind of reading glasses is Kimura wearing? At the time, Kimura was wearing reading glasses.

At the time, Mr. Kimura showed me a pair of reading glasses he had. They were high-brand Tom Ford frames and didn’t look like reading glasses at all (laughs). Moreover, he said that he had consulted his ophthalmologist and had them made to suit his needs.

When I think of reading glasses, I imagine cheap ones sold at supermarkets or “00-loupes,” but these are the kind of glasses that can be used as ordinary fashionable glasses. I thought, “That’s just like Mr. Kimura.”

A person involved in the fashion industry explains about “Tom Ford,” a brand favored by Kimura.

“The designer Tom Ford won many awards when he became the creative director of Gucci, and he has contributed to the revival and expansion of the Gucci brand. In 2005, he became independent and launched his own brand, which has become a luxury brand sought after by celebrities all over the world.

His glasses in particular are favored by Hollywood star Brad Pitt and others, and his main products cost around 40,000 to 50,000 yen for just the frames. Mr. Kimura must have been a regular customer of this brand for some time. If he were to order lenses as reading glasses, they would be even more expensive.”

Kimura is already 50 years old. The star is meticulous even just with a single pair of reading glasses.
