it's total bullshit. Their conclusion is no different than concluding that staring at the sun could cause irreversible damage. Fact is that most LEDs are safer because the emissions are focused in the visible band so if something is too bright you'll be even more aware of it before it damages anything.
As an aside, if you're looking into LED lighting, and your actually worried about this nonsense even though you shouldn't, look into higher CRI and lower color temperature as these maximize wavelengths in a range your eyes are more sensitive too. high color temperature LEDs can cause insomnia and eye fatigue. 420nm pump triphosphor LEDs look fucking amazing if you can afford them.
