The Effectiveness of Blue Light Glasses on Eye Strain and Sleep: New Study Findings

TL;DR Summary
A new study published in the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews suggests that blue light-blocking glasses may not provide relief from computer-induced eye strain or improve sleep quality. The study found no substantial evidence to support the effectiveness of these glasses in reducing visual fatigue or protecting the retina from light-induced damage. While no serious side effects were reported, the study does not support the prescription of blue light glasses to the general population. Further research is needed to determine the long-term effects and efficacy of these glasses.
