I’m at the Liberal Democrat Party conference with the SMF (Labour next week). I wandered over to the Eye Health Alliance stand, where they took a picture of the inside of my eye.
Robert's Left Eye, showing the cornea, foeva, capillaries and nerves
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.
Ew! That is nasty! You should get that seen to, Rob.
I thought it looked rather beautiful, like a planet.
Yes, but when you bear in mind it is made of jelly and aqueous humour, it all becomes a bit icky…
(and what is that growth on it, on the top right?)
Don’t worry, I asked about that. Its a feature of the aperture they take the photo with.
Are you sure you can see the ‘cornea’ in the retinal image!
