What they're saying: “A few days ago, I noticed some dark, blurry spots in my vision, which seemed out of the ordinary," Crenshaw, a U.S. Navy SEAL veteran, said. "I went to get this checked out by an ophthalmologist on Thursday and they discovered that my retina was detaching."
“This is a terrifying prognosis for someone with one eye, and the nature of the injuries that I sustained in Afghanistan. Anyone who knows the history of my injuries knows that I don’t have a ‘good eye,’ but half a good eye."
"I want to especially thank the phenomenal team of doctors and nurses at the VA who took such good care of me. During the surgery they put a gas bubble in my eye, which acts as a bandage for my retina. This means I have to be face-down for the next week or so, unable to see anything."
