Default How dangerous are these lights to human eyes?

Yeah polarized lenses cut light that is polarized (has an orientation in
space) this means it cuts all light in that direction. Although if you were
wearing polarized sunglasses they would have built in UV A/B protection.

Uhm, polarized lense cut glare, not UV, for that you need a glass lense a
coating to block the UV A and B bands.

How dangerous are these aquarium lights (5000K to 10000K) to human
eyes? I am (seeing) exposed to these lights very closely (6 to
12") for minimum of 10 to 30 seconds daily.

Hmmm....
Well, I guess you could wear polarized sunglasses.You know, like what
the fishing pros Jimmy Houston and AL Linder wear.
Or, if you want to be really safe you could wear tanning
goggles.Carefull, you might prune fingers, fish and/or filter lines.
