Unhappy Class 1 strobe test question ?

I have recently been to Gatwick for my class 1 medical and have a question regarding the strobe test.

I felt fine throughout the test, however I did find it hard to keep my eyes from closing during the later stages of the strobe. This made my eyes water a little as I was trying quite hard to keep them open.

Did any one else experience this ? I mean it's not normal to have a light that close to your face so surely it's just a reflex to want to close your eyes ?

All in all I felt fine throughout and its just this that worries me as the nurse said "you didnt like that much did you"

Any sujestions or thoughts would be appreciated as I am a little concerned !

Thanks in advance for any thoughts/views
