I was using a digital camera to videotape my dog's face, especially him looking up at the camera. But after a few scenes, I forgot to put it on "video" and instead took a picture...Right in his eyes! He kind of shied away from me the rest of the night, the way a dog would shy away from someone who'd hit it. He doesn't seem to be having any eyesight problems, but IDK, unless he went blind I wouldn't be able to tell. So does a bright light flashing in a dogs eyes hurt them?
Please don't lecture me about hurting him or say "Poor little puppy. Youu evil girl.", because I feel guilty enough already.

He should be OK. You are Not evil! It was unintentional. It temporarily blinded him, like it would you. He shied away because he doesn't like it. He'll be back to his old self shortly. Just be sure not to use a flash real close to him, which I'm sure you won't.

The dog is not hurt, maybe temporarily blinded but dogs have a long memory; he may not let you take a picture of him again.

I'm pretty sure he's just scared. Give him a few days, and he'll be back to his old self! BTW- you aren't evil, or you wouldn't care. Everyone does something like that once in a while. It takes someone who cares to say something about it to see if she can make it better.

Your dog is fine, he was just startled. Some dogs don't like funny noises. Some don't like flashing lights. Now you've learned: your dog doesn't like flashing lights.

He'll be fine,.. just a bit taken by surprise and temporarily disoriented.
No worries.

it was an accident right? even so, you should probably take it to the vet and get its eyes checked
