  • Blue Light From Devices May Cause Blindness (New Study)
    In this episode of The B Roast we chat about a study released recently demonstrating the harmful effects of blue light from our smart devices on our eyes. The study, published in the peer reviewed journal Scientific Reports, showed that when retinal cells in the eye are exposed to blue light they can become toxic, leading to damage of the eye itself which could lead to blindness over time.
    To help me dissect this issue in a broader manner, I brought in Baxter Blue (blue-light blocking glasses company) CEO Aaron Telford. We discuss the general misuse of smart devices right now and some potential strategies to overcome such habits.
