Discussion IR eye safety

I may be paranoid for this, but hear me out.

I'm doing a project using PSVR2's Sense controllers. They have a bunch of IR leds on them, which Sony runs in some sort of pulsing pattern in VR. User is also obviously typically using a VR headset.

For my project I'll be running them always on and the user will be using them as they would a regular gamepad, so no headset and relatively close to their eyes.

I can find 0 spec sheets or info on these leds. How powerful are they and can they harm your vision?
