Good science but not on point really to the root problem. The health problems are a mixed bag (studies on young eyes vs older) of papers and research but I find it hard to believe sunlight level blue spectrum is harmful in healthy eyes but as we get older, our eyes (like the rest of our bodies) become less healthy and are more prone to damage from things that had little or no effect when we were young.Some science to illuminate the issue

Age-dependent effects of blue light exposure on lifespan, neurodegeneration, and mitochondria physiology in Drosophila melanogaster
Understanding the effects of BL on cellular functions is becoming a significant health issue as humans are exposed to more blue-enriched LED illumination for most of the day and even at night due to shift work and light pollution in large cities1. While acute BL is phototoxic to different cells types in vitro16, it is not known whether daily BL exposure across the human lifespan may have long-term effects on cellular functions. Research on model organisms could provide insights into the effects of BL on conserved cellular pathways. Having previously reported that daily exposure to 12 h of BL accelerates aging in adult Drosophila8, we investigated the effects of constant BL on young, middle age, and old flies. We demonstrate that BL affects flies differently across their lifespan with decreased survival and increased brain neurodegeneration observed in old flies after the same length of BL exposure. Furthermore, our data suggest that age-dependent impairments in mitochondrial respiration and energy production contribute to the increased phototoxic effects of BL in older flies.
It's not the phones blue screen light that's the problem. If you're looking at a phone screen, your not going to sleep. It's the blue leds and lamps on everything else after the lights are out and you are actually trying to sleep is why I black tape over the damn blue LED indicators of mode lights. It's the harsh blue spectrum of street and car lights dazzling your eyes and destroying night vision.
