Loose Women: Katie Piper discusses procedure on her eye<\/h3>\n

Katie Piper updated ITV\u00a0viewers on Wednesday’s Loose Women after being away from the show for six weeks. The presenter explained she had been away to have surgery on her eye, which has been giving her issues for the past couple of years.<\/p>\n

Katie is blind in one eye after the acid attack she suffered in 2008. She hasn’t been seen on Loose Women for weeks as she needed surgery on the eye, and when she returned today she detailed how her eye had to be stitched.<\/p>\n

“Hello, stranger, first of all, Katie, we haven’t seen you for what, five or six weeks?”<\/p>\n

“I think it’s that long actually, yeah,” Katie replied.<\/p>\n

“You were saying you were going off to get a procedure done on your eye,” Kaye detailed.<\/p>\n

“Yeah, so I had a planned procedure called a tarsorrhaphy, which is a semi-permanent closure of the eye.<\/p>\n

“So it’s an operation done in theatre and your eye is sort of fully or partially stitched up.<\/p>\n

“So some people might be familiar with it, you normally see it when somebody has some kind of disease of the cornea.<\/p>\n

“And closing the eye gives it the optimum environment for it to heal.”<\/p>\n
