Katie Piper Gets 'Artificial Eye' After Acid Attack

Katie Piper has decided to get an "artificial eye" more than 16 years after an acid attack 

In an Instagram post, she wrote: “After many years battling with my eye health, I’ve reached the end of road somewhat, and the decision has been made to try a prosthetic eye shell. 

The former model suffered an acid attack arranged by her ex-boyfriend in March 2008. 

After the attack, the former model gave up her right to anonymity and made a Channel 4 documentary in 2009 called Katie: My Beautiful Face. 

She founded the Katie Piper Foundation, which supports survivors of life-changing burns and scars, etc. 

In 2021, Piper, who hosts Katie Piper’s Breakfast Show on ITV, was made an OBE in the Queen’s new year honours list for her services to charity and survivors of burns and other disfigurement injuries.
