Will the UV light from a bug zapper placed over my pond hurt the frogs' eyes?

I placed a Black Flag bug zapper above my pond to kill bugs and automatically feed my fish with the droppings. It works great!
But! There is this big warning written in red on the instructions:
” Warning: Skin or eye damage may result from directly viewing the light produced by the lamp in this apparatus. Always disconnect power before relamping or servicing.”
The bulb output looks like “blacklight” but there might be other wavelengths as well. UV-B UV-C. I don’t know.
Humans would look away but frogs sit there all night with their eyes wide open.
Could this damage Froggie and his friends’ eyes?
