It doesn’t
Hello, and thank you for your question.
To my knowledge, there is no evidence that blue light has any adverse effects in relation to your eyes. It can affect your circadian rhythms, but it won’t hurt your eyes. Anyone that tells you it does, usually has something to sell you, in my experience.
