According to the website Prevent Blindness: “Studies suggest that continued exposure to blue light over time couldlead to damaged retinal cells. This can cause vision problems like age-related macular degeneration.” This is an eye disease where in the center part of your retina, called the macula, gets damaged and can progressively result in blurry to dark area in the center of your vision. Imagine a having a dark spot in the middle of everything you look at—that’s likely what that would be like.
