My current build has UV LEDs in it. I moved it about 5 months ago, and it has been sitting on the desk now. I can and do see the lights from the case the entire time I am on the computer (which is honestly not a whole lot). I have a family history of cataracts and am rethinking my use of UV for the cool factor. Does anyone know if the indirect UV light that comes through the glass (has some type of tint on it, not sure if it blocks any UV) is enough to cause damage? Are any UV lights for computer cases safer than others? I am using the Lian Li Dynamic 011 case if that helps. I had recently changed the configuration of the LEDs so they were less visible, that was due more to irritation than anything else... but was the irritation a sign of damage? I know the eye doc today told me I have the beginning of a cataract in one eye. But I don't wear sunglasses and there are a lot of other factors that could be at play.
I did a pretty serious web search and really did not find much on this. Hopefully someone knows something.
