Question:

Do wearers of night vision devices suffer temporary “night blindness” immediately after a bright flash of light, as from a blast, headlights, tracer rounds, etc.....?

If so — how long?

Without the devices — this was a VERY prevalent problem “in the day” -— and resulted in a number of unfortunate consequences.....

It seems like this would be an easy problem to solve. Music studios use audio compression to limit spikes in the sound level. Shouldn’t be too big a deal to do the same with video.
