Let&#8217;s start with the bad news: blue light (such as light from our devices) can accelerate macular degeneration in our eyes, something that can cause blindness over time. The good news, or at least better news, is that a group of scientists have\u00a0discovered how that process works. \u00a0They <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/society\/2018\/aug\/09\/blue-light-from-phone-screens-accelerates-blindness-study-finds\">told<\/a> <em>The Guardian<\/em> UK, \u00abOur experiments explain how this happens, and we hope this leads to therapies that slow macular degeneration, such as a new kind of eye drop.\u00bb To me, this emphasizes the importance of shifting our displays red at night. I use the <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/forum.justgetflux.com\">f.lux app<\/a> on my Mac, and Apple has a similar feature baked into iOS. In addition to theoretically helping me sleep, seems it could be good for my eyes, too.
