Someone else noted: “The hair frames it fabulously.”
KEEPING TABS
In early 2023, fans immediately noticed Whoopi’s changed appearance too.
Whoopi’s co-host Sunny Hostin, 55, was the first to point out the changeup, prompting the actress to discuss her recent procedure.
“I had an operation, and they replaced the lens,” she began, pointing to her left eye.
“And the lens they replaced it with is kind of like my eyeglass lens.”
Sunny excitingly commented, “You can see!” to which the audience applauded her.
Whoopi then referenced a previous episode where she had trouble reading the teleprompter without her glasses, forcing her to put them on.
Her co-hosts were very interested in the procedure and chimed in with questions for the host.
Fellow panelist Ana Navarro, 52, asked Whoopi to clarify that her surgery differed from cataract surgery, to which the TV star agreed.
She further explained that the lens was replaced using “teeny tiny cataracts,” enabling her to regain her eyesight.
The Ghost actress continued to boast about the procedure, holding up a pamphlet to encourage others to get it if necessary.
“If you’re having any issues with your eyes, please go get them checked because, you know, the bionic times have arrived,” Whoopi joked while addressing the audience.
She later brought up her choice of eyewear during her earlier days in the entertainment industry, noting her round black frames.
“If you’re over 28 [years old], you know what I looked like before, when I was wearing sunglasses or cool glasses because they were cool,” the EGOT winner said.
“If you’re under 28, you don’t know that there was a time that I didn’t have glasses, and now this is what I looked like,” she laughed.
“It’s not so bad! It’s not so bad!”
FAN REACTIONS
Viewers were also big fans of Whoopi’s new look based on the flood of comments on social media.
“I knew #WhoopiGoldberg look different. Okay, no glasses on #TheView … Either way she looks nice. She has really good skin,” one fan tweeted.
“Whoopi looks so pretty,” another wrote, and a third echoed: “Whoopi looks beautiful without glasses.”
And someone else gushed: “No glasses, I love the look! #WhoopiGoldberg has beautiful eyes!”
