Interesting article - thanks for the reference. However, from the article:

"Okuno et al. [119] evaluated the blue-light hazards from many different light sources and reported that the exposure (even for less than a minute) to blue light from the sun, arc-welding lamps, and the arc of discharge lamps is hazardous to the retina, whereas the exposure to blue light from fluorescent lamps or LEDs does not pose a significant hazard.

Emphasis mine. ...

Finally, ultraviolet (UV) light is a risk factor for age-related macular degeneration. "

UV can do significant damage to your eye as anyone who has looked too long at a welder at work can tell you. Again interesting stuff, but as was stated in the article it was mostly done with nocturnal rodents (rats and mice).

There are a lot of studies out there to check out - I posted those two for the “multi results”. The lack of blue light, due to yellowing lens, affecting older folks is interesting.

Sun & welding - I wear eye protection. But in the office (especially these days) and at home, people spend a large amount of time with their eyes focused on a LED display and do not wear eye protection. The damages over time are photochemical and physical.

You can have my LEDs...from my cold, dead hands - I’ve been thrilled about them since I was young. I wear blue-blockers (gaming glasses) so I can keep on enjoying them.
