LED lights are good for the planet, but bad for your eyes, study says

Energy-efficient LED lights are earth-friendly, and these days they're in everything from computers to TVs to street lights. That's a problem, since new research indicates the light-emitting diode bulbs can cause irreparable damage to your eyes. Researchers from Madrid's Complutense University say this is likely caused by the high levels of radiation in the blue band of the light's spectrum, which can destroy or permanently damage cells in your retina. Dr. Celia Sanchez Ramos, an investigator at the university, said you can help soften the impact on your eyes by closing your eyes frequently, using sunglasses with UV filters and eating plenty of Vitamin A, all of which sounds easier than avoiding LEDs by, say, cutting computers out of your day.
