Ultra Violet Torch Exposure

[oliverm]

Hi. I looked directly at an ultra-violet torch (over 10 UV LEDs) for under 2seconds at a distance of around half a meter away from my eyes.
Are there any non-immediate effects of this exposure I need to be aware of?

If you don't see a bright or dark spot in the center of your vision that remains in the same spot when you move your eye you are likely okay.  Other worrisome symptoms such as pain, redness, sensitivity to light should be present if you had done damage.
