A flash, but a flash doesn't necessarily have to get into your eyes to be called a flash.
Usually they flash out red. Especially the large white rabbits. Another answer: The rabbit's eye colour doesn't change in a flash of sudden bright light. The pupils get smaller, but the colour doesn't change. What might make it look like a colour change is the light itself reflecting off the surface of the eye, causing a red colour -- but that is a trick of the light. Wild rabbits have dark brown eyes (so dark it can be hard to differentiate the pupil from the iris); pet rabbits do, too, but also sometimes they have red eyes or blue eyes.
ok i give, where ? are you talking cars or your eyes ?
yes and no it depends on how bright it is
I believe it can affect your eyes because lighting is a flash of bright light that your eyes cannot withstand.
No. Reading in the dark will strain you eyes. If you have a booklight or a flash light that will work and then you can get the eery effect without straining your eyes.
Animals eyes do not glow, their eyes only reflect light. This reflection of light, which appears to make the animal's eye glow, is called eyeshine and it is caused by the tapetum lucidum, which is a layer of tissue in the eyes of many vertebrate animals. The tapetum lucidum allows the animal to see better in low-light situations (such as after dark) by reflecting the light back into the retina. When a photo is taken of an animal that has tapetum lucidum in it's eyes, the light reflected from the flash of the photo often makes the eyes appear to glow. The same thing occurs when light is flashed into the eyes of animals that contain tapetum lucidum after dark.
It will get dark quickly, then go right back to light. Best not to look directly at the eclipse though, the UV light can damage your eyes. The pupils will dialate due to the sudden darkness, then the sudden return of bright light can hurt them.
The "red " in the eyes of some people is from a camera with a FLASH. In the flash the person is in a dark setting so this makes their iris dilate letting in light from the flash. In the back of the human eye is a blood rich retina that turns focused light that hits it and turns the light into electrical signals that travels through optic nerve to the brain. The brain then turns these electrical signals into a arrangement (digital) that our brain understands as a image. I digress; the "red" eyes in the photo is due to the flash hitting the retina and is reflected back to the lens of the camera
It's called Photo sensitivity
An arc flash is the dome shaped blue light over a welding spot and is very dangerous. You will not forget the first arc flash that you see properly as it feels like sand in the eyes.
I think when you rub your eyes you create pressure in your eyes so the only way for your brain to process light would be to make light. this is called pressure phosphenus.
