Everyone is exposed to an extremely powerful nuclear fusion IR flood illuminator every day, it's called the Sun. I doubt the tiny IR LED in your iPhone would cause any issues.
- NullPrefix 8y agoAnd you have been trained not to look at it. Haven't you?
- rhinoceraptor 8y agoInfrared is light, and light is reflected. You don’t need to look directly at the sun to get get it in your eyes.
- sfilargi 8y agoThe difference is that when you are outside in the sun, there is visible light too, which means your pupils are about 2mm. When you are in a dark room, they can be up to 8-9mm. This means 15x more light allowed in. I am not saying that the LED in the video will destroy your eyes, but I do wonder if the eye-pain induced by the iPhone X that I had the past year is because of that.
