Can a Night Vision device and/or Infrared Illuminator be harmful to an individual?
Infrared illuminators help the night vision devices to look through the dark or low light conditions without the need of any additional source of illumination. The night vision or infrared illuminators which are installed in night vision devices are built according to the safety norms. So, they are generally not harmful.
All our Night Vision Optics products comply with FDA and international regulations in terms of safety for an electronic device, similar to other electronic devices such as televisions, and radios. Individuals with sensitive eyes such as those who experience eye fatigue while watching television, may experience the same sort of fatigue if they use their night vision viewer for a prolonged time.
