Are there reasons for limiting your exposure to blue light from screens and LEDs? And if so, are blue-light glasses the solution?

I will measure their effect on a laptop screen and a white LED with a spectrometer - and compare them to UV-blocking amber glasses.

I do find a use case for the blue-light glasses, but maybe there are better solutions for keeping our eyes happy in everyday life? Such as red-shifting screens and buying a much bigger TV?

Let's find out!

the dark theme craze from a few years ago

I didn't understand it until very recently. Age is really catching up with my eyesight now, and I need the dark themes in the evening. Otherwise, even with the laptop's backlight turned all the way down , it's really straining on my eyes.

Red shifting doesn't do anything for me though, as I've never had any trouble falling asleep with blue light around. But I get that some people need it.
