Popular Met Office forecaster Carol Kirkwood revealed she had suffered a BURST blood vessel – which doctors told her could take a MONTH to heal.
But the 52-year-old BBC presenter reassured concerned fans about her ongoing health concerns this morning, tweeting: "Thank you for asking about my eye.
The update came after viewers continued to question the popular Scottish presenter about her "bloodshot" eye after she presented the weather on BBC Breakfast this morning.
Thank you for asking about my eye. It is so much better thank you. Can actually see more white than red now!xxx
Cindi Paines echoed hundreds of other tweets, telling the presenter her update was "excellent news".
One fan tweeted: "Hi Carol, how's the eye? Still doesn't look 100% but I hope it's getting better."
Another commented on how "painful" the presenter's eye appeared on camera saying: "That eye looks painful, my lovely … hope its better soon."
Meanwhile, Stephen Fletcher told the 52-year-old BBC presenter: "Bless you Carol, your eye looks really sore."

@carolkirkwood @BBCBreakfast noticed your eye the other morning, are you ok?
One proactive fan even recommended a specific type of eye drop, writing: "I recommend Hypromellose Eye drops for red eye. No additives. Good Luck."
Another, Mark Simpson, reassured the Met Office forecaster that he had suffered with the same issue.
He tweeted: "Happened to me last year. Cleared up fine eventually. :-)"But if you get any pain or discomfort, get it checked again."
@BBCBreakfast @carolkirkwood Do you have an eye infection, your right eye looks very blood shot :(
Thank you for asking about my eye again this morning. I really appreciate it. Doc says it's fine but could take a month to return to normalx
The Scotswoman has shown her appreciation over the support offered on social media, tweeting updates since viewers first commented on her "bloody" pupil, some two weeks ago.
On November 12th, she wrote: "Really touched that you are asking about my eye. "It doesn't hurt, but I am going to have it checked out properly now."
