Is it true that wearing blue light glasses causes eye strain?
No. Multiple reviews and randomized trials report that blue-light-filtering glasses do not reduce digital eye strain and show no evidence that blue light from screens causes it; one cross-sectional survey found only a small association between light-filtering glasses and strain.
