The presenter, 52, admitted she didn’t want to detract away from the topic of coronavirus, however Dr Hilary gave her a quick consultation off screen.
Fearful: Kate Garraway aired her concerns over an infection as she wore her glasses during Thursday’s episode of Good Morning Britain
At the start of the show, Kate explained why she was wearing glasses and apologised for her appearance, assuring viewers she didn’t have the virus.
She said: ‘I should apologise for my appearance by the way. It’s nothing to do with the coronavirus.
‘I’ve got a little eye infection which is making my eye a bit watery, meaning I’m wearing my glasses.
She went on to reveal that in accordance with social distancing rules she had done her own hair and make up, and said: ‘As we have to do our own hair and make-up at the moment maybe it’s no bad thing you can’t see too much detail.’

After sharing her fears with Dr Hilary on the show, Kate received a consultation in the ad break, where he prescribed a course of antibiotic drops.
Their chat prompted a discussion on when you should seek medical advice for a non-coronavirus related medical issue at the moment.
Kate admitted that she was concerned her eye issue was ‘petty’, and suggested others may feel the same way about contacting their doctor.
However Dr Hilary reassured her that if she had sight problems it would be considered an ‘optical emergency’, before adding that routine opticians and dentist appointments should be cancelled.

Another member of the GMB team who has been forced to get himself prepped for the show was their co-host Piers Morgan.
He’s so far been very passionate about the pressing need to observe social distancing measures amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
And Piers proved he’s a man who practices what he preaches as he was forced to apply his own make-up on Wednesday’s show.

The 54-year-old slipped on a leopard print robe as he shared a picture of the moment on Instagram ahead of the show.
He wrote: ‘Doing my own make-up for the first time – this struggle just got real.’
In the snap, Piers could be seen with a brush in his hand as he got to work with bags of make-up scattered across the table.
