    Blue light being bad is a conspiracy theory by big eyewear to sell more glasses (I’m being tongue in cheek but I think its kinda true). I don’t have the link but I read some paper about how its more likely that the reduced blinking rate while watching screens is the real culprit

      Weirdly I have a similar conspiracy about noise makers for children. They all tend to come with a colored light, that is super bright. While there are studies that have shown sleeping with a light when you are younger makes you 5x more likely to need corrective lenses when you are older.
