Exposure to bright light can produce a condition known as phototoxicity, which
can lead to problems long after the exposure. It is most common after sustained
exposure, however (as from the surgeon's light source during a long procedure).
The chances of your having any long term problems are slight. If you didn't have
any scarring from the exposure, I wouldn't worry about it.
