  • Alan Carr reveals he's 'losing his sight' and needs to get 'worrying' procedure - The comedian, who has astigmatism, recalled a spike going into his eye in a 'surreal' procedure

Alan Carr, the British comedian, has publicly shared that he is gradually losing his sight due to a condition known as retinal detachment, which he has experienced in both eyes. He has undergone multiple surgeries to address the issue, with the latest being a vitrectomy, a procedure where the vitreous gel in the eye is removed and replaced with a gas bubble to help reattach the retina. Despite the severity of his condition, Carr remains optimistic, humorously noting that his vision loss might be a "blessing in disguise" as it could prevent him from seeing negative comments about his work. He also expressed gratitude towards the NHS for their support and care during his treatments.
