Dan Crenshaw issued a statement about his eye surgery. He said he is currently totally blind but it should only be for a month.
He is — hopefully— not permanently blind as you may have read on the Internet.
He had a detached retina in his one good eye.
It sounds like a horrible recovery process.
The Story
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.
He also suffered damage to his left eye and the problem resurfaced.
The blast from 2012 caused a cataract, excessive tissue damage, and extensive damage to my retina,” he continued. “It was always a possibility that the effects of the damage to my retina would surface, and it appears that is exactly what has happened. The prognosis I received Thursday is obviously very bad.”
“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.
Crenshaw said he’s home recovering in Houston and has to lay face-down — unable to see anything — as he recovers.
