Back in the original series Spock got blinded for awhile (thanks to McCoy’s screw up). The problem fixed itself because Vulcans had an extra lens or something in their eye. I don’t recall the exact technobabble. Anyhow, Vulcans had some protection against intense light.
Did they ever bring this up in Enterprise? I didn’t watch all that series. I know Enterprise added a lot to the Vulcan canon.
