Hi!,
Infrared touch screen can effect your eye in any way?

I understand that Infrared light is the predominant carrier of the energy delivered to us by the Sun and that the infrared leds on an ereader are small, but in this case we look directly at the screen. I have read that IR can cause eyes problems like cataracts for ex. What is the IR emissions of a single led? and how many LEDs are there in a screen?
