The Queen had surgery in May to remove a cataract, it was revealed today.
Her Majesty has been wearing sunglasses at many events in the past months including at Epsom races and a number of Buckingham Palace garden parties.
Today it has emerged that this was because of an operation on her eye to remove a cataract in May.
It is the most common procedure on the NHS but she was treated as a day patient at the private King Edward VII’s hospital in London.
