Jenson Button today visited an eye doctor in London, intent on removing debris that affected the Lucky Strike BAR Honda driver throughout the Barcelona Grand Prix.

Contrary to reports elsewhere in the media, there was no shards of carbon fibre in Jenson's eye. In fact, the Englishman managed to get some of the carbon brake dust lodged in there during the race.

"The eye troubled him during the race, but he is not too uncomfortable and it is treatable," David Richards told the Daily Telegraph.
