Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) will undergo eye surgery on Monday due to an injury he sustained while exercising earlier this month, according to a Thursday statement from his office.
The surgery is a “necessary step to assist in recovering full vision in his right eye,” Reid spokeswoman Kristen Orthman said in the statement.
“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,” she said. “His broken ribs are healing well and he will continue to maintain a busy schedule next week as his right eye heals.”
Reid missed the beginning of the 114th Congress due to broken ribs and bones in his face, but the minority leader returned to Capitol Hill this week

Democrats are not safe anywhere these days .
Best wishes, Senator Reid. Your vision will be needed in the months ahead.
Best of luck to you, Harry, and stay out of Wasilla next time.
They just brush by those broken ribs like no big deal. I bruised a rib a couple of years ago and I still sometimes feel it. Good luck, Harry. Just don’t try to give any big speeches while taking the pain relievers.
Get well, Harry. Then give 'em hell!
