UVB lighting and eye problems

[sschind]

I posted this to a thread about lighting causing blindness but I thought it might be appropriate for its own thread for those of us who keep other basking herps.

UV Lighting for Reptiles: A new problem with high UVB output fluorescent compact lamps and tubes? (http://www.uvguide.co.uk/phototherapyphosphor.htm)

and another report with responses from the manufacturers in question

wow
a little scary
I've been using the Zoomed reptisun 10.0 fluorescent bulbs, but not the compacts and mine don't say anything about high output
I wonder now . . .
Henner does have lots of places he can hide from the sun
I wonder whether those other animals didn't
I'd always thought that, given the opportunity, herps know how to regulate their UV exposure
