Recent claims circulating on social media suggest that LED lights cause migraines and are major contributors to cataract formation. However, a review of the evidence indicates that while some individuals with a predisposition to migraines may experience symptoms from LED flickering, this does not affect the majority of the population. Furthermore, research has not substantiated any significant connection between LED exposure and cataracts, with factors like age and UV radiation being much more prominent causes. The claims made by social media influencer Matt Roeske lack scientific backing and have been challenged by experts, reaffirming that the risks posed by LED lights are minimal compared to natural sunlight.
