Maybe my class 2 doctor didn't do the full eye test then? Or maybe my memory is fading???

I know my class 1 eye test was the most thorough I've ever had in my life. Including spotting a tiny scratch on the back of my eye. The doctor was convinced it was an injury and not an infection, and asked if I had any idea what it was. I didn't. It was only a few hours later that I recalled a family holiday one Christmas when I was about 3. I grabbed hold of a decoration on the Christmas tree at the hotel, squeezed it, and it shattered. I got a piece in my eye, and my dad took me to hospital to check there was no damage. That must be what the doctor saw - amazing! He told me I was very fortunate that it was just to the side of the critical area where he'd have had to fail me. Whew!
