The bolded part I quoted from you above is the only misinformation in this thread.
If you would like to be introduced to the person whose vision has been impaired I can introduce you. You are not a medical doctor and, even if you were, you have not examined the patient. He has a diagnosis from an ophthalmologist who has examined his eyes.
You have no idea if I'm an MD, but I wouldn't need to be to know an LED headlight is incapable of producing enough light to permanently damage an otherwise normal and healthy eye.
Do not twist my words. I did not say all LED light was inherently bad. I implied LED headlights were inherently dangerous.
An implication without supporting evidence. Misinformation.
This implication is confirmed by at least one confirmed case of permanent vision impairment.
Confirmed by confirmation? Okay buddy.
I have never stated that all LED headlights will blind everyone who comes near them.
Your implication was that they are capable of exactly that.
However, they have definitely caused permanent injury to one person.
That's not how causality works. Good try though.
I enjoy my vision and would like to keep it. I would also like my choice of headlight to not be the cause of another person's vision loss. In the spirit of helping my fellow man, I share an experience that, however uncommon, is real. If reading this can help even person avoid causing or experiencing permanent vision damage I will consider my effort well-spent.
Here your implication is clear, if I choose LED headlights to help me see and drive my family safely my effort is not well spent? Interesting...
You are welcome to walk onto any dealer lot with a 2024 model year car that has LED headlights, ask the salesman to turn the bright lights on, and kneel down in front of those headlights with your eyes wide open, and stare into that light as long as suits you. For best effect, you should position your eyes so that they are in line with the most intense light output.
Yeah, because that's exactly the same as driving towards a car with LED headlights...besides according to you, it "only takes a second".
I would not choose to do this, but it is a free country and you are free to choose your own path.
You're correct here. I will choose to research and inform my decisions with what that research shows. Which, in this case, is that LED headlights are incapable of causing the injuries you claim. Imagine the lawsuits that would have been filed if they were...
