Putting blue light to bed!

When i look at this original thread I believe it says "Putting this thread to bed"....WHEN?

Wait what?

I had to look this up because I was reeeeally hoping it was made as a joke... alas not. But at least this pops up as the first result if you Google 'blue light vitamins.'

Wow ...neat photo. When i look at this original thread I believe it says "Putting this thread to bed"....WHEN?

Hard to say...but the recent push back from the AOA is a step in the proper direction (FINALLY) it would seem...

Don't Believe the Blue-Light Hype, Eye Doctors Say

ARTICLE BY: INVISION STAFF 09 SEPTEMBER 2018

There may be more to the story.

Recent reports suggesting that blue light from digital screens contributes to vision loss don't tell the whole story, the American Optometric Association reports.


One study by researchers at the University of Toledo found that blue light transforms vital molecules inthe eye’s retina into cell killers. That, they said, could lead to age-related macular degeneration.


But Karl Citek, O.D. and a member of the AOA Commission on Ophthalmic Standards, noted that the observed changes appeared only at microwatts (µW) of intensity above a typical threshold for digital devices, AAAreports.


"Researchers showed an effect at the given wavelength (445nm) only when the energy was at 4.86 microwatts or greater. Previous Research has shown that effects only occur when the energy is 3 µW or greater.Electronic devices typically emit no greater than 1 µW, and as far as I can tell, there is no cumulative effect for such low energies," said Citek, who is also subcommittee chair for the American National Standards Institute, which sets consumer-protection standards for the manufacture of sunglasses and over-the-counter readers.
