Valkyrae shares reason behind her eyepatch
Valkyrae has shared with her followers that she’ll be wearing an eyepatch for an extended period due to a health issue. On December 2, 2024, the streamer shared an update on X (formerly Twitter), revealing she has developed a stye in her eye. In a lighthearted post, Valkyrae wrote, “I have an eye stye and will need to wear an eyepatch for a while lol.”
While styes typically resolve on their own with time, Valkyrae’s situation reportedly requires additional care. To aid her recovery, she will be wearing an eyepatch to protect the affected eye and prevent further irritation.
Her followers responded with a mix of sympathy and jokes. One user wrote, “Not people in the comments saying Piraete but seriously hope it gets better soon I’ve heard of how painful they can be. A warm washcloth can help with the pain.” Another posted on X, “Well you’re just going to have a new accessory for the Streamer awards. Yeah those things suck. I have a co-worker that just got one removed last week.”
While Valkyrae hasn’t yet posted a photo of herself wearing the eyepatch, her viewers are eagerly waiting for her to reveal how she’s managing her eyepatch during her streams.
