What I WOULD expect is flash "dazzle", where the bright visible (non-UV) light dazzles you, causing your pupils to shrink, leaving an intense after-image, and generally making it difficult to see � but without doing permanent damage to your eyes.

As I recall, all of these lenses are coated and block UV, on or off.
