Why does blue light cause eye strain?

WHY DOES BLUE LIGHT CAUSE EYE STRAIN?

  1. When blue light enters the eye, it scatters before reaching the retina. Our eyes work overtime trying to focus this scattered light, which they cannot do. ​​

  2. Depending on brightness, this out-of-focus blue light can appear as glare. The more blue light in the environment, the greater the glare.
