Floaters in your vision can appear as small dark dots, squiggly lines, rings or cobwebs and are caused by gel inside your eyes changing.
The star also shared a zoomed in image beside his fabulous surgeon on his Instagram feed and in a legnthy caption explained the procedure was very pricey and involves an "intense regime of eye drops," moving forward.
He explained: "Firstly, no part of my treatment and surgery was gifted and I wasn’t asked to post. It is also pioneering and costly…"

"These floaters have literally blighted my otherwise brilliant eyesight. For the first time in many years, right now, I’m looking at a clear blue sky. It is mood/mind and life changing for me. People who don’t have terrible floaters won’t understand what they do to your head and until now they really haven’t been taken seriously.
"Today I have a bloodshot eye that will last 2 weeks and an intense regime of eye drops for a month… but my floaters are 100% gone."
"Again it is pioneering and expensive, hopefully the more it’s done, the sooner the price will reduce. Hope that answered the many questions I’ve been asked in the last 24 hours xx."
