Article summary:
GORDON Brown has two minor rips on his retina, Downing Street disclosed yesterday. A spokesman said the tears have not led to any further deterioration in his vision, which has caused him difficulties ever since he lost the sight of his left eye in a schoolboy rugby match. He added there was no need for the Prime Minister to undergo an operation to repair the newly discovered problems with his right eye. Eye experts warned, however, that retinal tears can cause loss of sight in the long run.
