Energy-saving fluorescent lights linked to increasing eye diseases | Firstpost

Washington: Energy-saving fluorescent lights can harm eyes, say scientists. A new research, led by the Australian National University, has warned that the global trend towards using fluorescent globes instead of incandescent ones as a strategy to beat climate change could be increasing eye disease.

The research, published in the ‘American Journal of Public Health’, has found that fluorescent lighting may cause a 12 per cent rise in UV-related eye diseases like cataracts and pterygia.
