The truth: Blue Light is all around us.
You may not see it, but Blue Light is everywhere, all around us. Emanating from the sun, LED lights, computers, tablets and smartphone screens—Blue Light is virtually inescapable. Unfortunately, too much Blue Light can irritate the eyes (often in the form of Digital Eye Strain) and can disrupt sleep patterns. Blue Light can be okay in appropriate doses and boost alertness, memory, and other cognitive functions. However, too much of it can irritate the eyes and disrupt sleep patterns. Too much of a good thing can be an issue.
