Does flash damage babies' eyes?

from Allan Engelhardt (allane@cybaea.com)

I have several times heard it said that electronic flash may damage the eyes of young babies. The reason is supposedly that their eyes are much more sensitive then adults.

I have also heard several people say that this is rubbish.

Does anybody have any pointers to (independendt/scientific) studies or comments, or perhaps comments from the camera or flash manufacturers? I have not been able to find anything but hearsay.
