I read in a magazine that blue light (from skiing;blue goggles) can cause macular degeneration. I'mn worried about this because I usually sleep under blue light from a light bulb. Is this hazardous to my eyes? Is red light safer? Does (sleeping under) red light cause damage to your eyes?

As far as I know, red lights are harmless. Most animals and insects cannot even see red light.
Photographers used to use red lights in their darkrooms because red light does not affect photo-sensitive paper and chemicals.
I have not heard anything about blue-light...black light however does cause damage to the eyes.

Blacklights can cause eye damage because they emit ultraviolet light. Only if the LEDs emit a lot of ultraviolet light will they cause any trouble, and then you would have to be exposed to them for quite a long time. While it's not a good idea to overdo anything, (so... don't overdo it!) I wouldn't be concerned about eye damage from a string of holiday lights.

Why would it?? When you are asleep your eyes are closed and eyelids are Mother Natures natural protection for your eyes!
