Can a optical Mouse LED blind you?
My mouse was acting funny ever since I cleaned it (probably got a bit of water in it), so I took it apart this morning. I should had unplug it from my laptop first, but being the idiot I am I end up staring into the bright Red Light for a few minutes as I expected the mouse’s guts.
My left eye went blurry and I have bit of a migraine now. I know that optical mice use infrared red LED that shouldn’t be a problem, should it? Is the LED powerful enough to damage my eyes?
If you can see out of your eye then you can’t be blind.
I don’t think the LED is powerful enough anyway. You may get blurry eye for a few moments but you can get that just by looking at a bright light bulb for a duration. You will be fine.
Your retina is a little tired that is all from the strong light. And it is not infra-red. Humans cannot see infra-red light. It is visible red which is higher in frequency and that is what dazzled you.
Your migrane is natural when exposed to bright light. Always protect your eyes first anyway!
