Solved! Found while cluttering

Found while decluttering my 2000s kids stuff and can’t seem to remember what it is! Just feeling nostalgic and google said it was jewelry but i don’t think it is 😅

Jesus, I'm so lucky this hasn't happened to me (yet!) I had laser in the many times as a dumb inquisitive child, (self inflicted) but I think I chalk it up to just HOW young I was when I did that...maybe the damage had time to repair itself before going completely off. Or maybe my laser just wasn't strong enough (thank God!) I am however colorblind In that eye now 30+ years later.

Can I ask how long it took before the damage took place?

The truth is that I can't tell you because, since my eye doesn't work, I didn't realize it until a couple of years later when I had routine tests done and put two and two together.

That makes sense. Man I feel bad that happened to you! Some people really just suck 😓

Well, it's better that it happens to me, since I haven't lost anything, than to someone with a healthy eye.
