Mayor Kurt Anagnostou was absent from last night’s Council meeting, after he went to Portland for emergency eye surgery. Anagnostou has been dealing with a parasitic eye infection, caused by contaminated contact lens solution. Several weeks ago, he’d undergone a cornea transplant, but during an examination that was conducted earlier this week, the doctor found that the infection had not been completely killed, and that Anagnostou’s eye was once again in danger. The mayor went down to the Casey Eye Institute at Oregon Health and Science University for emergency surgery, which reportedly was a success. It’s reported that he was resting comfortably at home last night.
