An '''optogram''' was the image of the last thing that a person saw, retained in a dead eye. Both [[Madame Vastra]] and the [[Eleventh Doctor]] dismissed the notion as "silly superstition", with the Doctor particularly ascribing the notion to the [[Romany]] people. Nevertheless, the Doctor allowed for the possibility of optograms if the body's chemistry were disturbed. The presence of [[red leech]] toxin was sufficient disturbance to allow for optograms, as evidenced by the fact that the image of the Doctor was indeed retained by [[Edmund (The Crimson Horror)|Edmund]]'s eyes.
