Evidence from multiple studies confirms that non-visible light, such as ultraviolet and high-energy radiation, can cause significant biological and photochemical damage to the eyes.

The analysis

The claim states that non-visible light can cause biological effects on the eyes. Papers [3] and [11] explicitly discuss how ultraviolet radiation and high-energy blue/non-visible light induce oxidative stress, cellular damage, and photochemical effects in ocular tissues, fully supporting the claim.
