Devolin recovering after eye surgery
Haliburton-Kawartha Lakes-Brock MP Barry Devolin is recovering in Ottawa following unscheduled surgery.
Devolin learned March 5 he had a detached retina – a serious problem that could cause permanent loss of vision.
After spending the weekend in and out of Ottawa General Hospital, he underwent laser surgery on Sunday morning.
Dr. Leonard of the Ottawa Eye Institute said the surgery went well and time will tell if vision comes back in the affected eye.
Dr. Leonard put Devolin on a strict “stay still” plan until his follow-up visit in 10 days.
At this point, Devolin does not know when he will be able to resume his duties in parliament and the riding.
