The Nollywood star had taken to his Instagram page on Friday to share a picture of himself in a surgery room, with both of his eyes sealed with plaster and cottonwool.

The 37-year-old movie star, who has long been known to adorn himself with eyeshades, said he was without sight for over eight hours after the procedure.

According to him, overexposure to harsh movie production lights had prompted the growth, which caused his doctors to suggest that he undergoes surgery.

“Many don’t know what we go through in the course of our work. I had a growth encroaching the pupil of both eyes cos of overexposure to harsh movie Production light over the Years,” he said.

“I heard looking into your phone/computer for too long also puts one in danger. Advised to get a surgery done, I was scared. After Surgery, for over 8 hrs, I was without sight.

“My eyes were demanded tightly shut by the ophthalmologist team of doctors. Hmm! This made me appreciate more the gift of sight God gave me. Gosh, that I can’t ever take for granted.
