Katie Piper reveals she’s had surgery to ‘save her eye’ as she’s comforted by daughter in hospital

In a recent Instagram post, Katie Piper, 40, shared her experience of undergoing a planned surgery on her left eye to prevent complete loss of sight. The procedure, called Tarsorrhaphy, temporarily stitches her eyelid closed, aiding the healing process for her deteriorating sight. The surgery also addressed scar tissue in her right eye, causing some swelling. Katie, a survivor of a 2008 acid attack, emphasized that her surgical decisions prioritize function over aesthetics to preserve her eyesight.

Katie opened up about the mental challenges of her ongoing recovery, emphasizing the need for acceptance and understanding. She urged against negative comments on appearance, emphasizing the importance of respecting others’ journeys. Addressing potential trolls, she explained, “I’m still the same person. I’ve just had a different path in life… For that I’m extremely grateful for. But as I recover, I’m asking that you please don’t troll me.”

Expressing gratitude to her eye surgeon, Mr. Joshi, Katie received an outpouring of support from well-wishers, including friend Luisa Zissman. Despite the challenges, Katie remains resilient, continuing her advocacy through the Katie Piper Foundation for burns sufferers.
