Blue light is slowly destroying your retina

I’m posting this for folk who are not aware of the dangers of the blue light in our screens. I’ve been aware for some time & purchased the blue blockers however I recently came across info to block this at the screen. I’ll add the post I found with many free or paid options.

Check them out…see also Dr Mercola’s article on eye health … EWR

  1. This is something I’m constantly harping on about to my workmates. They all have their monitors on daylight setting and mine is on yellow “night light”. They say they like the blue “day” setting more. Sadly there are a lot of lemmings in this world!
