Does Fashionable LED Eyeshadow Impair Vision?

Posted: 01 Jun 2011 12:00 AM PDT

Not sure, but maybe we’ll try this ourselves to find out. Pictured south are the latest gimmicky creations by designer Lulin Ding.

Our concern, however, stems from having such a bright light source so close to the human eye. Would the proximity cause the wearer to see dots? Is it okay to drive safely with these eyeshadow lights?
