An eye examination can provide an early warning for many conditions, including brain tumours. The picture of my eye was later examined by Liberal Democrat MP Dr Evan Harris, who gave my eyes a clean bill of health.

    Don’t worry, I asked about that. Its a feature of the aperture they take the photo with.
