Novichok survivor back in hospital with eye problem

A Briton who fell critically ill last month after being exposed to a Soviet-made nerve agent was admitted back to hospital with eye trouble, his brother told British media on Tuesday. "He's just told me now he can't see, he has blurred vision," Matthew Rowley was quoted by The Guardian newspaper as saying. He said his brother Charlie was in intensive care at Salisbury hospital - the same facility where he was treated before.
The brother said he was not qualified to say whether the new illness was related to the poisoning with the toxin, known as Novichok, but added that it was "pretty coincidental". Contacted by AFP, Salisbury hospital in southwest England said it would not comment on individual cases but added that nobody was currently being treated for the effects of Novichok poisoning.
