Bollywood legend Amitabh Bachchan has said that he underwent a second eye surgery successfully and he is "recovering well".

In a late Sunday night post on his Twitter handle, Bachchan thanked his doctor and called the surgeries a "life-changing experience."

Earlier this month, the 78-year-old actor had disclosed about his first eye surgery and shared the news with his fans that the recovery is "slow and difficult." At that time, he had also hinted at getting a surgery in the other eye.

"And the second one has gone well. Recovering now. All good. The marvels of modern medical technology and the dexterity of Dr HM (Himanshu Mehta) 's hands. Life changing experience. You see now what you were not seeing before, surely a wonderful world," he tweeted.

In a blog post, Bachchan said now that his second eye was recovering, he could properly see colours, shapes and sizes.

"Saviour Dr Himanshu Mehta and his dexterity with the very latest medical machinery to remove the cataracts despite the age-related soft tissues of mine. Any delay in these corrections can lead to blindness. So an advice .. get it done before it gets too late.

"And the recovery for the second one continues. If I am writing this its obviously working .. ain' it," he added.
