Mel B shares ‘real truth’ about losing eyesight
Written by News on 21/05/2019
Spice Girl Mel B has asked fans to help her find a “new scary eye patch” after suffering inflammation in both of her eyes.
The singer was taken to hospital last week and feared she had gone blind.
She’s now revealed to fans that she has been diagnosed with inflammation in her eyes, and rubbished rumours that it was something she had suffered with before.
Mel B thanked her fans for their love and support on Instagram.
“Just so you know the real truth. I had an awful experience last week when I went blind in my right eye and my left eye went blurry.
“Even though the stupid press said I’m ok and this has happened to me many times before, just to be clear I was NOT ok and this has NEVER EVER happened to me before,so who every is selling this story ‘a close reliable source’ is full of BS and needs to get there silly facts right big time.
She added she was “actually in a lot of pain and very very scared” and thanked the doctors who treated her.
“I’m taking multiple prescription heavy duty eye drops and other medication the dr gave me that I have to take every day to keep the inflammation under control,Also I’m being so well looked after by Team Spice special thanks to our paramedics too!!im still dealing with it and will be fir the next 3/4 months to fully get it under control but I’m no longer worried that my condition will get worse. My only problem now is I have to find a very cool Scary eye patch. Does anyone – apart from Madonna – know where I can get one ??”
Iritis is a condition which refers to inflammation of the iris, the coloured part of the eye. Uveitis is inflammation related to the uvea, which is made up of the iris, the muscle around it and the tissue which supports the retina.
Although uvetis is not common, it’s the leading cause of visual impairment in the UK.
It comes just days before the Spice Girls embark on their reunion tour, with the first date in Dublin on Friday.
Last year, Mel B was in hospital when she cut her hand and broke two ribs in an incident at a friend’s house.
She told fans she needed a three-hour operation to repair her hand.
