Lucy Owen issues health update after being rushed in for treatment

BBC presenter Lucy Owen has issued a health update after receiving treatment for an issue with her eye that could have led to her losing her sight. She revealed that she won't get her vision back for a few months following the treatment.

Earlier this week, the 52-year-old presenter revealed she was being rushed into surgery for a detatched retina which was spotted by an optician. The Welsh presenter, best known for her work on BBC Wales Today and the recently axed BBC X-Ray, appears to be recovering well at home in her most recent update.

Lucy posted an image to Twitter with the caption: "Thanks so much for your lovely messages, so kind of you. Having to lie on my side for a week and won’t get my vision back for a few months - tricky for autocue! But look what I had from my wonderful Wales Today colleagues. So lucky work with such gorgeous people."
