LONDON — Prime Minister Gordon Brown of Britain disclosed Saturday that an eye examination showed two tears in his right retina — a revelation that could embolden critics who want him to step down before a national election.
Downing Street moved to quash speculation over Brown’s health. Brown’s office said his eyesight remained unchanged and that no operations were planned.
Brown, who lost the use of his left eye when he was a teenager and had surgery to save the sight in the other one, has been dogged by questions about his eyesight.
