Do you recommend people wear blue light blacking glasses? Yeah. So that's a big debate in our field. And you know, I want to say that studies have not proven that blue light causes disease. We are still undergoing studies. We probably won't find that out for years. But we know that there is a harmful component in it. So I do recommend it to my patients. A because we don't know, so why not add it onto your glasses? B, it does help regulate your circadian rhythm. We know that for sure. So it will help us sleep better, especially for those of us and children that are all on their devices at nighttime. So I don't think there's a harm to add it on.
