McFly singer Tom Fletcher has recently shared that his Easter break was spent in the hospital after a painful eye emergency.
The former Strictly Come Dancing star shared some pictures of his injury on social media and explained that it was not his first time in the emergency room due to his eyes.
He had to endure a course of grueling steroid treatment at the end of last year for six weeks for the same issue.

Tom shared some snaps while waiting to be seen by a doctor, revealing his noticeably inflamed eye on his Instagram Stories on Easter Sunday.
After being seen by medics, Tom, 37, shared the news with his followers on Instagram: "Home. Another 6 weeks of steroid eye drops here we go."
Tom informed his followers on Easter Monday that he has had uveitis three times now, a condition that causes eye pain and changes to vision, and early treatment is necessary to avoid risks of glaucoma or cataracts.
According to the NHS, uveitis is an inflammation of the middle layer of the eye called the uvea or uveal tract, which can cause eye pain, redness, and vision changes, including blurry or cloudy sight.
Last December, Tom also shared details of another trip to the hospital with his fans on Instagram. "Sorry I’ve been quiet for a bit," he wrote at the time.
Tom added, "I was wiped out with some sort of illness and in bed for a few days. I just got back on my feet yesterday, and uveitis decided to kick me down again," he continued, adding an eye emoji.
The All About You hitmaker went on to thank the NHS staff who helped him out at A&E, explaining: "Very grateful to have a dedicated eye A&E hospital in London! It’s the 2nd time I’ve stumbled into that place holding my eyes, and they’ve been amazing."

Tom then shared some of his treatment programs with his Instagram followers, telling them: "For now, it’s dark rooms, sunglasses, and 6 weeks of steroids. Merry Christmas!"
Last month, Tom also had to rush one of his three children to the hospital after they suffered a nasty accident at home.
The doting father didn't disclose which of his children had been injured but shared a masked-up selfie on his Instagram Stories in the hospital ward in March with the caption: "Classic Sunday evening spent in A&E".
Tom shares his three sons with his wife Giovanna Fletcher, who is also a successful author and podcast host.
