Harry Reid / Twitter(WASHINGTON) — Sen. Harry Reid will undergo surgery on his right eye next week in order to help recover full vision following an exercise accident earlier this month.
Kristen Orthman, deputy communications director for Reid, released a statement Wednesday calling the surgery a “necessary step.” Reid learned of the need for the procedure on Tuesday.
“Senator Reid is expected to be released from the hospital quickly following the surgery but under doctor’s orders to minimize strain in his right eye, he will have to work from his DC home next week,” the statement read. Reid also suffered broken ribs in the exercise accident, which are reportedly healing well.
