Rep. Dan Crenshaw will be “effectively blind” for about a month and “off the grid” for the coming weeks after emergency eye surgery, the Texas Republican announced Saturday.
Crenshaw, a former Navy SEAL, lost an eye in an IED blast in Afghanistan, which also caused “extensive damage” to his other retina.
Within the past few days, Crenshaw said he had begun to experience “dark, blurry spots” that were affecting his sight, after which he went Thursday to an ophthalmologist, where he learned that his retina was in the process of detaching.
Crenshaw said the news was “terrifying” and the prognosis “very bad.”
