Rep. Dan Crenshaw, R-Texas, said he underwent emergency surgery Friday to detach the retina of his left eye and will be unable to see as he recovers.
“The surgery went well, but I will be effectively blind for about a month,” Crenshaw said in a Twitter statement on Saturday.
Crenshaw, a U.S. Navy SEAL veteran, lost his right eye during a deployment in Afghanistan when he was wounded by an improvised explosive device (IED) and wears a patch on that eye.
But his left eye also sustained damage in the 2012 blast, and he learned this week that the problems had gotten worse.
