Here's What Blue Light Actually Does To Your Body

I’ve been reading your comments and everyone wants to know if the blue light exposure they get from their digital devices is putting them at risk for eye damage. I get it. We’re all working from home on our computers during the day and checking our phones constantly. That surely must be doing something to our vision, right? Let’s break down the truth behind all-things blue light, such as digital eye strain, the 20/20/20 rule, and macular degeneration.

I LOVE reading your comments and take your suggestions seriously. If there’s a subject you want me to discuss or something you’d like for me to react to, leave a comment down below. Many of my videos have been born out of suggestions directly from you, so don’t hold back!

I work in front of a computer all day. It was recommended that I get glasses with the blue light filter when I had my eyes chkd. So I did, one unexpected side of my migraines WENT AWAY. Never even considered the computer as a trigger. So I love them.

It's a BIG YES from me. Give Dr. M his Oscar's Trophy.
