Is the Infrared safe shining in your eyes?

It's not visible light to humans so I would think it's safe but then again, I didn't sleep in a Holiday Inn Express. It's artificial and not from the sun so it may be different. The wavelength used in those are very low so it's shoudnt be damaging. Retinal scanners have been used for years for biometrics now and no reports have been made of damage.
