DEVOLIN’S EYE SURGERY A
SUCCESS
OTTAWA – Local MP Barry Devolin got some great news yesterday at Ottawa General Hospital when he learned that laser surgery 10 days ago was a complete success.
Dr Leonard reported that the left retina was fully reattached, no scar tissue had formed, and chances for complete recovery of sight within 6 months were very good.
Devolin will continue to experience blurry and obstructed vision for several weeks, but improvement should progress incrementally.
"My family and I are happy to know I should make a full recovery" said Devolin. "I want to thank the doctors and staff at the Ottawa Eye Institute for their great work, as well as those who sent me encouragement and prayers. All were greatly appreciated."
Devolin closed by saying that "maybe it was the luck of the Irish to get this kind of good news on St. Patrick's Day!"
Devolin will return to his full duties in Ottawa and around the riding immediately.
