Are you experiencing this from staring at your computer monitor/television for long periods of time?

Interesting fact: LED televisions are really just LCD televisions that use LED lights for back lighting instead of the flourescent CFL lighting traditionally used for LCDs.

Why do you think they would hurt your eyes? LEDs are simply the white light source, replacing the fluorescent back light. Brightness setting?

That't true, brightness settings play a major role. I personally have my screen on the lowest brightness setting. Friends and family always ask how I can see with it being so low, but it's actually healthier for you this way - less strain on your eyes and the muscles that focus the lens in your eyes. For me, it's like starring at paper rather than a bright screen.

Referring to following post, for screen, brightness is not the true to make your eye stress, the main cause could be Blue light frequency 415-455 instead. But I don't know the frequency spectrum from LED.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

As far as I know, LED light produces light within the spectrum that we can see. Whether it produces wavelengths outside the visible range, I don't know.

Maybe you are sensitive to brightness in general. Bright light does elicit heads in people naturally.
