Lawrence Jones Gives On-Air Update After Retinal Surgery, Holds Off on Return Date

Post-surgery swelling has delayed his comeback.

Overview

  • The Fox & Friends co-host phoned into the Jan. 30 broadcast to explain his recent absence and recovery.
  • He said a specialist found a very small, likely genetic tear and a long-detached retina after fluid around the eye raised concerns.
  • Surgeons reattached the retina, and he reported his vision has been improving each day since the procedure.
  • Doctors initially anticipated he could be back the following Monday, but persistent swelling has kept him off the set and limited travel.
  • Jones declined to name a return date, as colleagues and viewers shared well-wishes following his days off the air.
