A few weeks ago, fans of “The Dead Files” were left in shock when Steve Dischiavi, one of the show’s stars, shared a photo that appeared to be taken in an operating room. The image sparked a wave of speculation and concern among his followers, who quickly flooded his inbox with messages seeking answers about his condition.
In response to the growing curiosity and concern, Dischiavi decided to address the situation directly. He took to social media with a video where he opened up about the circumstances leading up to his surgery and provided much-needed clarity for those worried about him.
Steve Dischiavi recently posted an update on TikTok regarding his health
Steve Dischiavi, widely recognized for his role on “The Dead Files,” recently turned to TikTok to discuss a significant health issue—his eye surgery—and express heartfelt thanks for the overwhelming support he has received from fans.
In this candid video update, Steve revealed that his current eye problems began after undergoing cataract surgery a couple of years ago. Unfortunately, complications arose from that procedure, including a detached retina that required multiple surgeries. These complications have left him with permanent double vision in his right eye and an unresponsive pupil.
During the video, Steve explained why he’s been wearing sunglasses lately—not as a fashion statement but as protection for his still-recovering eye. He described how uncomfortable it is dealing with bright light due to the fixed pupil condition; it feels like someone is constantly shining a flashlight directly into his eye.
Although he recently underwent another operation aimed at addressing some issues—such as removing scar tissue and attempting to restore movement in the pupil—the double vision and fixed pupil remain unresolved. This means further medical intervention will be necessary down the line.
As he wrapped up the video message, Steve expressed deep gratitude towards everyone who reached out during this challenging time. He was genuinely moved by how many people showed concern for him despite not knowing him personally—a gesture he found both heartwarming and touching.
Steve confirmed that another surgery is on the horizon as doctors continue working towards improving his condition.
