Not able to sleep a wink after all the food and bubbly they ply you with?
Either the quality's gone to bits, but you had no issue with the F&B right?

Medical / biological causes
Tunnel vision can be caused by:
-...Alcohol consumption causes tunnel vision.[2] In addition, the vision becomes blurred or double since eye muscles lose their precision causing them to be unable to focus on the same object.
-...Altitude sickness, hypoxia in passenger aircraft[4]
-...Prolonged exposure to air contaminated with heated hydraulic fluids and oils, as can sometimes happen in passenger aircraft.[6]
I would've suggested he take a cruise liner next time.
