Dunja Rajter: Concern for the singer

Pop star Dunja Rajter (78) fears for her eyesight. As “Bild am Sonntag” reports, the 78-year-old recently had a retinal detachment in her left eye. “I knew something was wrong. It was at night when these flashes came again, then I only saw a black bar in my eye.”

According to the report, her husband Michael Eichler drove her to the hospital where she underwent surgery. Eichler told the newspaper that it would only be possible to say in two to three weeks whether her eyesight would return.

Retinal detachment also in the right eye

Dunja Rajter, who according to the newspaper had a retinal detachment in her right eye eight years ago, also told “Bild am Sonntag”: “My healthy eye has always compensated for the impairment in the right eye. Now I notice that I am in the left “I can’t see how low 33 percent are. That’s a poor quality of life.” It is currently “an unsettling time” for her, said the singer and actress, adding: “But I have faith that I will get well again and hope that I will get my eyesight back.”

She became a star in the 1960s and 70s

Dunja Rajter became a star in the 1960s. She appeared in TV shows and series and was an actress in films such as “Winnetou I”, “Among Vultures” and “The Beginning”. She also started a career as a singer and was successful in the 1970s with songs like “What’s in it” and “Salem Aleikum”. In 2021 she released the album “I want to feel life”.

She has been married to Michael Eichler for the third time since 2009. Before that, she was married to the cameraman Gérard Vandenberg (1932-1999) for a few months from 1970. In 1972 she married the singer Les Humphries (1940-2007), and the couple’s son was born in 1974. The marriage ended in divorce in 1976.
