A model who went viral for her 'lazy eye' revealed how she's finally getting surgery to 'fix' it.

Elley Davies, 19, from Wales, was born with strabismus in the left eye, commonly known as a 'turn' or a 'lazy eye'.

The very thing that made her 80% blind shot the stunner to internet fame – as she tackled trolls and filmed her impressive makeup tutorials.

She used her platform of over 300,000 followers to launch her adult modelling career, where she's claimed to have made £300,000.

But now, as she wants to move into the mainstream industry, Elley has plucked up the courage to alter her brand-defining look.

Speaking in an exclusive interview with Daily Star, Elley explained why she's now going under the knife soon.

"I have booked an appointment for consultation with an eye specialist," the model told us.

"I’m going forward with it and I’m really excited, not for the surgery, I hate surgeries.

"I’ve never had one so it’s quite a scary thing.

"I’ve always put it off but now I’m at the age where I’m like 'OK, I’m coming to terms with it and I’m going to be fine'.

"So I’m going to see an eye consultant on Thursday morning at a hospital in Cardiff and talk about what my next step is going to be about the surgery."

“I think for me – people don’t believe me when I say this – I genuinely want to see a change and see what I look like.

“I have a really weird feeling it’s going to turn back because the surgery is 99.9% effective, it can always go back and it might not work.

“I’ve got a feeling that it’s going to go back and to be honest with you, if it does I’m not complaining, I’m not bothered by that.

“If it doesn’t work, it doesn’t. I just want to see a change in myself, I want to surprise myself.

“So I’m excited.”

As well as getting the op for cosmetic reasons, the model has booked in to avoid going blind completely.

Despite being prescribed glasses when she was younger, Elley always refused to wear them – unlike her brother with the same condition whose eyes improved.

Fearful of her deteriorating eyesight, the model is determined to get it fixed quickly.

She added: “I’m going privately about this.

“I think the process of doing it when I was younger was a lot quicker, I think I could have done it on the NHS.

“Now, I just want to get it done. I’m sure that the waiting list is around three years.

“So I just wanted to go privately about it and get it done.

“As well, I’ve been told, there’s another reason why I’m doing it as my eyesight is actually deteriorating the longer I leave it.

“My vision isn’t great, I can see and I literally just passed the requirements for driving which is amazing as I’d literally die without driving.

“But, my sight is going bad.

“I’m supposed to be wearing glasses 24/7 and I don’t like them.”
