NY Gov Paterson undergoes glaucoma procedure
NEW YORK -- New York Gov. David Paterson has been diagnosed with acute glaucoma in his left eye and is undergoing an outpatient laser procedure.
Paterson's office said in a statement Tuesday that the procedure "will not have any long-term impact on the governor
health."
It says Paterson will remain conscious during the procedure. But "in an abundance of caution, the Senate majority leader and the Assembly speaker were advised."
Paterson admitted himself to Manhattan's Mount Sinai Medical Center earlier Tuesday after experiencing "migraine-like symptoms."
