Will accidently staring at a copy machine light hurt my eyes?

This happened by accident today. Someone pushed the copy button with the lid up when I was not expecting it. I looked away immediately but it definitely caused some pain in my eyes. Thank you.

Nope.

    its nothing to be worried about, you may see a spot wherever you look for a while, but it should go away. A laser might have a bigger effect, but not a copier
