Katie, 35 had suffered severe burns in 2008 when her then-boyfriend David Lynch conspired with an accomplice named Stefan Sylvestre to throw acid on her.

She has undergone more than 40 surgeries on her body as a consequence of it. David is behind bars for life and Stefan has served his jail term and the law released him earlier this year.

“Thanks for all your messages asking how my eye is after last weeks procedure. “Sorry I can’t stay on top of DMs so will give you an update here. I’m doing really well no infections.”
“I’m using Prednisone and chloramphenicol direct into the eye 4 times a day and it looks as if some of the eye has cleared so I’m feeling positive about it and looking forward to going back to the eye clinic for my follow up.
“Thank you to everyone who has sent well wishes and also to all of you who have been sharing your medical and own eyesight journeys with me.
“I thought I would upload this picture – I know for some people it might be a strange even gory image but I think it’s quite beautiful in an artistic way being able to see the marks where treatment took place in the eye serves as reminder of how amazing the human body really is along with skill of the doctors and surgeons that treat us.”
“And as a side note if you really want to be amazing by what’s medically possible my eyelids upper and lower were rebuilt using the skin from both sides of my groin!”
