The impact caused significant damage, requiring him to undergo eye surgery in London and a subsequent operation in Scotland to repair his retina and lens.<ref>{{Cite news |date=2017-01-24 |title=Amyra Dastur flings a stiletto at Diganth! |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/kannada/movies/news/amyra-dastur-flings-a-stiletto-at-diganth/articleshow/50862966.cms |access-date=2025-06-03 |work=The Times of India |issn=0971-8257}}</ref> He was advised several months of rest following the procedures.
