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.
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. "This is a terrifying prognosis for someone with one eye, and the nature of the injuries that I sustained in Afghanistan," Crenshaw said. "Anyone who knows the history of my injuries knows that I don’t have a ‘good eye’, but half a good eye.More Related News
