When you have had a laser op. then the class 1 takes a bit longer - due to them performing additional tests. One of the tests with me involved eye drops to open up the corneas so the examiner could have a look at the back of my eye. All this slowed the whole thing down considerably. I doubt they have seen their a**e as I have forgotten to tick a box on a form as well but then mentioned my laser-op when they asked verbally. The doctor just ticked the box and it was fine. Mind you, in my case it was obvious I simply forgot to tick the box - if they asked him and he lied but optical examiner then has found (through examining of the eye) that he DID have the op, well, thats different I suppose
