Taiwanese actress Liang Younan, 56, has undergone surgery at National Taiwan University Hospital to treat a "macular pucker" in her right eye. The condition had caused her vision to deteriorate significantly, to the point where she could only see 0.5 and found her script blurry. The "macular pucker" causes the normally concave macula to develop folds or wrinkles, requiring surgical intervention.
Liang Younan, who previously had good vision of 1.0 in both eyes after laser surgery over 20 years ago, was alarmed by the sudden decline in her eyesight this year. Doctors explained that the folds on her macula needed to be removed. The surgery, though successful, was described by Liang as "super scary" and "really painful." Complicating matters, surgeons discovered a tear in her right eye during the procedure, necessitating a "side-sleeping" position post-operation to help the wound heal.
If it goes smoothly, I can be discharged in two days.
Despite the discomfort, Liang remains optimistic about her recovery, stating she hopes to be discharged in two days. She shared that she was wearing protective amulets for good luck. Her daughter, actress Fang Qi, also posted on social media to reassure fans, emphasizing that the surgery was minor and that the family was there to support her. MinTV has confirmed that Liang is currently on leave but is expected to return to the drama "Tofu Mama" and resume filming in about two to three days.
Everyone, don't be nervous. Mom just had a small eye surgery. Our whole family is here to accompany her. The surgery went smoothly and perfectly! Thank you for your concern and blessings.
