Well, that's what researchers have just discovered in a recent study they conducted.

Now, I actually have been wearing blue light blocking glasses on and off for awhile now (especially when I feel a migraine coming on), but after reading this study, I'm thinking that I might need to do something to protect my skin from HEV (high energy visible light).

If you head over to Domino, they've got some great suggestions, from special sunscreens (that include HEV protection) to phone covers, plus smart tips, like using Night Shift on your iPhone at night.
