This Morning presenter Phillip Schofield revealed he has been in surgery for his 'debilitating' eye condition.

The star took to Instagram on Thursday (25 August) where he shared a photo post-surgery.

Sitting in a hospital gown surrounded by doctors and nurses and wearing an eye patch, he wrote: "Now my right eye is done! Thank you Prof Stanga & his amazing team. If the success of my summer is to be 'floater' free, that's good enough for me."

Phillip, 60, previously opened up about suffering from 'floaters' - small dark shapes that float across your vision - back in July, when he had surgery on his left eye.

"Firstly, no part of my treatment and surgery was gifted and I wasn’t asked to post. It is also pioneering and costly," he told followers at the time.

"It was carried out by Prof Stanga at The Retina Clinic in London. I had Elective limited pars plana vitrectomy surgery. It didn’t hurt!

"If you have been told ‘just live with them’ that is not necessarily true, I’m sure there are exceptions, but they can be fixed.

"A full vitrectomy will usually cause a cataract quite soon after, a limited vitrectomy won’t.

"Prof Stanga and his team are leading the field here in the UK in this and other retinal treatments with state of the art equipment and rigorous pre op consultation and post op aftercare."

Phil also spoke about how the condition had 'blighted' his eyesight, and how the surgery had totally changed his life and mindset after he had described the floaters as 'debilitating'.

"These floaters have literally blighted my otherwise brilliant eyesight," he explained.

"For the first time in many years, right now, I’m looking at a clear blue sky, it is mood/mind and life changing for me.

"People who don’t have terrible floaters won’t understand what they do to your head and until now they really haven’t been taken seriously.

"Today I have a blood shot eye that will last 2 weeks and an intense regime of eye drops for a month… but my floaters are 100 percent gone.

"I reiterate, this wasn’t in any way gifted and I wasn’t asked to post, but I’m happy to promote British medical innovation."

Phillip went on to explain that the treatment is expensive, but he hopes the more the surgery is done, the more the price will reduce for others.

"Again it is pioneering and expensive, hopefully the more it’s done, the sooner the price will reduce," he said.
