Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) was released from George Washington University Hospital on Monday afternoon after a successful surgery.
The surgery, which took more than three hours, repaired broken bones in Reid's face from an exercise injury. The injury caused blindness in Reid's right eye.
Adam Jentleson, a spokesman for Reid, told Politico that doctors are "optimistic" Reid will regain sight in his eye, but "there is no definitive verdict yet."
Reid will work from his Washington home for the rest of the week.
