Yes Helen, I also thought he might have inadvertently "inoculated" himself
with a mydriatic - though one might have expected a monocular response -
but he denied being anywhere near the eye room yesterday (though I forgot
to ask about the arrest trolley). I also thought that a pair of basic +1
dioptre reading glasses would be a damn sight simpler than giving
neostigmine! Maybe I should speak to a neurologist; I'm pretty sure the
problem lies beyond the orbits (and, as I suspected, the ophthalmologists
were unhelpful).
