Do you really think that all the makers of screens and lightbulbs are<br>
risking making people go blind, with all the subsequent lawsuits for<br>
damages?<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:small;color:rgb(0,0,0)">Yes, I do. How many lawsuits have been filed and won regarding food additives, asbestos, pesticides etc., drugs and thousands more. Well not yes, in that they are not knowingly chancing lawsuits. But companies historically only pull dangerous products when they lose lawsuits or the feds make them do it. Voluntarily doing it is fairly rare. Hurts their bottom line. Profits can overcome settling lawsuits.</div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">

You won't find evidence on sites selling special glasses. You just get<br>
the sales spiel. Try reading reliable medical sites.<br>
The main risk factors for age-related macular degeneration are Age<br>

You assume that because webmd did not list blue light, then it is not a factor. Why believe them? If it is not proven, then it is tentative, right? I will not alarm you with all the wrong things doctors have done to me, but it surely made me a big skeptic of any sort of medical pronouncements, esp. including what to eat.
