Yeah. The hypothesis seems to be that the blue end of the spectrum is the danger here, LEDs being relatively bluer than incandescents or common fluorescent phosphors.

But even so, the high energy spectral content of indoor LED lighting is much, much less than what you see from direct sunlight. If LEDs are really a vision risk to the modern office worker, they're significantly less so than the same risk of agricultural or other outdoor workers.
