Alan Carr has opened up about a frightening "health scare" and his fears that he is losing his sight.The 48-year-old comedian underwent a procedure where his eyeballs were drained at a specialist eye hospital, involving a "spike" being inserted into his eyeball under anaesthetic.Describing the ordeal as "surreal" the popular stand-up and television presenter admitted he was "so worried" during the experience, the Mirror reports.On his podcast, Life's a Beach, Carr shared with guest Grace Campbell: "I've got astigmatism - I kept telling people I had stigmata, like the wounds of Christ.
Get over yourself, Alan."I had a bit of a health scare. I went to Moorfields [Eye Hospital, London]. I've got something wrong with my eyes - quite a bit of pressure.
I hate the glaucoma thing, when they squirt the air in your eyes. I had something wrong with my eyes in the cornea. I was so worried." He continued: "He had to basically choke me because this air going into my eye was too much.
At Moorfields they anaesthetised my eyeball, and then the spike came in on to the lens to see if it worked."They said: 'Just relax Alan, and just concentrate on the spike going into your eye.' I'm like excuse me?
