"Any history of a to e means" if you have ever had surgical or medical treatment. All I've had was tonsils surgery in, I think, 1946, and eye medication in the late 1950s.
My provisional driving licence application in 1959 only asked about reading a number plate at a distance. My age 73 licence renewal asked if I had ever been referred to an eye specialist. I ticked yes.
There followed a long hassle, as I could not remember the consultant's name, nor the medication, from over 50 years ago. Sending my current Optician's prescription had no effect.
Eventually I took the latest form to my GP, who scrawled "Irrelevant" in every box, stamping them with the Practice stamp, and adding a note that I had no problem. I got my driving licence back.
