'I See Little Silver Pieces Falling Everywhere': Chrissy Teigen Opens Up About Aging and Seeing 'Angels'

Chrissy Teigen is asking her fans not to ignore signs of aging.

Teigen explained she hadn't seen her therapist in four or five weeks due to her recent travels, telling her followers, "I probably have never gone this long without seeing him."

She added that she went to an appointment on Sunday, Aug. 11, where she told her therapist she'd been "sewing a lot and painting a lot."

Teigen told her followers that she'd been having "a lot of eye issues" lately, and sometimes it felt like there was a "thick film" on her eyes, adding that she'd had "bleary-eyed" vision, especially in the mornings.

"I have like dryness around my eyes too, and I really notice it when I'm painting or sewing, basically," the TV personality went on.

"I said sometimes when I blink, when I open my eyes again I see glitter... little silver pieces falling everywhere," Teigen continued, before adding, "I told him I've convinced myself it's angels."

"I'm like 'Yeah every time I blink and I see all these flicks of glitter, it's an angel that's watching me,' " she said with a laugh.

"He looks at me and he's like, 'You should probably go to the hospital or an eye doctor and check this out,' " she said in a clip.

"I'm so embedded in Los Angeles, I'm like 'Oh no my poor vision... what could be a brain tumor is angels,' " Teigen added, telling her followers, "Anyhow the lesson here is don't get so hippy-dippy that you mistake what are tell-tale signs of aging, vision loss, for angels."

Teigen's health update came after she showed off her surgical scars in another clip shared on Tuesday as she and her husband John Legend, 45, headed out on a date night.

Teigen said while wearing a plunging black dress, "Date night, very rare but it happens ... boobies out, scars out."
