Just asking because for me it really wreaks havoc on my eyes and its because the blue lighting ISN'T good for you.
Blue light, which is part of the visible light spectrum, reaches deeper into the eye and its cumulative effect can cause damage to the retina. Furthermore, in certain wavelengths, blue light is implicated in the development of age-related macular degeneration (AMD).
What are the effects of blue light?
Blue light from digital devices creates visual “noise†which reduces contrast and can cause digital eye strain. Nearly 70 percent of adults who regularly use media devices report experiencing some symptoms of digital eyestrain! But very few do anything to avoid or relieve symptoms.
Symptoms can include: tired eyes, shoulder pain, headache, fatigue, eye irritation and pain, blurred or double vision, light sensitivity, tearing, dry eyes and trouble focusing.

Further researching will show some benefits to blue light too, but only in the sense and effect OF "visibility".. short of that you may as well be sitting 2 feet in front of a TV 12 hrs a night/day.
I'd almost be willing to bet all of my computer literate or border nerds all wear glasses and have many of the symptoms above, just dont know what possibly may have been a contributor to them. You young bucks will be too stubborn to admit or recognize the issues.. until the effects become more permanent or disabling.
I know for me my vision use to be perfect but with all my years, i've developed near-sightedness (sp?), everything up close is like HD but if I am driving at night, street signs elude clarity unless I'm within 45-50 ft and my headlights are on them.
just a thought
