Actor Will Mellor, renowned for his roles in “Mr Bates vs The Post Office” and “Two Pints of Lager and a Packet of Crisps,” shared a personal update with fans on Instagram, revealing that he has undergone surgery to address his deteriorating eyesight.
In an Instagram video posted on Monday, the 47-year-old actor disclosed his decision to undergo lens replacement surgery to tackle his longstanding vision issues. Mellor candidly expressed his concerns about his eyesight, stating that his vision had worsened rapidly since turning forty, necessitating glasses for most activities.
Explaining his choice of lens replacement surgery over laser eye procedures, Mellor revealed the complexity of his condition, with one eye being short-sighted and the other long-sighted, a challenge that laser surgery could not fully address.
Despite his nerves about the operation, Mellor assured his followers of his commitment to sharing updates on his progress, acknowledging the significance of the procedure for his overall well-being.
Hours after the surgery, Mellor returned to Instagram, sporting plastic shields over his eyes as he humorously remarked on his post-operative appearance. Despite experiencing temporary blurriness, Mellor remained upbeat, promising to keep his fans informed about his recovery journey.
The Coronation Street actor’s openness about his vision struggles and decision to undergo surgery resonates with many facing similar challenges, highlighting the importance of seeking appropriate medical interventions for eye conditions.
