Rep. Frederica Wilson (D-FL) confirmed Thursday evening that she is recovering from eye surgery after a weekslong absence from Capitol Hill.

“Following left eye surgery, my priority has been ensuring a full and responsible recovery,” Wilson said. “Although I am currently unable to fly under my doctors’ orders, my work has not stopped for a single day. While recovering in the district, I have continued carrying out my official duties, meeting with leaders, local organizations, city and county officials, and constituents.”
