Thank you for this much needed blog Dr Stillman. I just taught a 2 hour workshop on this subject and how its affecting our sleep in particular. In the process I learned more about about the dissociation of Vitamin A to melanopsin and how detrimental the new product retinal is to our biology and in particular the photoreceptors and the downstream effect of that. Thanks - you have just inspired me to write a blog too - we need to get this message out ASAP. Lastly, I think I found a pair of blue blockers that I can drive in - the day lenses from Viva Rays as they allow some balanced blue in. I will test them out now though - you make a good safety point on the police lights and the need to see those!
Great article validating blue light dangers and mitigations… Thx
