TV chef James Martin has undergone refractive lens surgery to improve his vision, which has resulted in his colleagues on his show "Saturday Morning" feeling intimidated. He explained that his vision is now so sharp that he can "see stuff a mile off," leading to his coworkers being scared of him.
The surgery involved replacing his natural lenses with artificial ones, allowing him to read without glasses and see with remarkable clarity. Martin, aged 53, acknowledged that his meticulous nature is also a significant part of his professional life as a chef, where attention to detail is paramount.
He believes this inherent trait, combined with his improved vision, contributes to his intense focus on his work and television production. He shared that he and his team regularly hold meetings to discuss and refine the show, a practice he compares to the rigorous standards in the restaurant industry.
