    Camera flash
    Okay I have the dumbest question, but seriously just humor me for a minute. I am a worrier and I need to ease my mind.

    I was using my blackberry's camera to take a self portrait. I thought I had the flash turned off since I didn't need it. So I stared directly into the flash bulb to center my gaze so that I would be facing the camera directly. Well the flash was actually ON and omg that hurt so bad! I stared directly into it! It took like fifteen minutes for the bright blue-orange dot to go away, but even when it had just happened I could see through the dot like it was transparent, just really bright.

    So now I am freaking out wondering if I did any kind of damage. I know my phone camera flash is nowhere near as bright as the sun or anything, but I am worrying myself a little crazy. Besides the almost certain migraine I will now have today, do you think I'm okay?

    Please don't point and laugh!

    I am sure that you will be OK. If it persists consult a doctor.

    I think it'll be fine. Temporarily off set. If you continue to worry go get your annual eye exam. They usually range from $40-$200. Depends on where you go.
