Anyone up for a conversation around blue light?

I've taken on a personal project to write a series of articles on the topic (BlueNotes), and- if it's something that interests you- would appreciate any comments, feedback, or suggestions y'all may have. Specifically, I'd like to draw attention to some important points that tend to get lost in all the noise around blue light (e.g., the sun is far more likely to toast your retina than your iPad- so wear sunglasses).

Article two contains a graph on IOLs that I personally find particularly alarming (I'm at a complete loss to understand why >50% of IOLs being implanted filter less blue light than a newborn's crystalline lens- especially when we know that the older the retina gets the less capable it is of dealing with the oxidative effects of blue light).

Anyway, if we aren't already I'd love to connect with you on LinkedIn, and please feel free to critique away!

I'm planning on 7 articles- 2 are already on line...
Article one- How does blue light damage the eye? https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/how-d...e-pete-hanlin/
Article two- How the eye defends itself against blue light. https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/how-e...t-pete-hanlin/
Article three- The good side of blue light.
Article four- Do electronic devices really emit blue light?
Article five- Protecting your eyes from blue light?
Article six- Does blue light cause eye strain?
Article seven- Living with blue light- a summary.

Some of the topics lend themselves to talking about ophthalmic products, but the focus of the articles is intended to be on eye health (please feel free to flame away if I inadvertently stray from that intention :^).
