Optometrist Geoff Lawson unaware of Asif's eye problem

Former Pakistan coachu00a0 Geoff Lawson is an eye specialist. He is a qualified optometrist who graduated with a Bachelor of Optometry from the University of New South Wales.

However, he was unaware about the eye drops (Keratyl) used by Mohammad Asif for his alleged painful inflamed eye.

Speaking from Australia over the phone, he laughed off Asif's claim and said: "It is news to me. The eye drops were not prescribed by me.

I don't know if he had used these drops under any doctor's advice during IPL matches or by any National Cricket Academy (NCA) physio or medical person.

During my time with the team, I was only concentrating on coaching and not on medical side."
