Some of my co-workers use reduced blue light on their monitors, and when I need to work with them on something on their machines, I experience significant eye strain because of absence of the blue light. I just can't see as clearly as normal without the blue light. I'm not sure how they adapted to it, or perhaps they experience the same eye strain but they think it's OK because they are convinced that blue light hurts their eyes. Eye strain hurts your eyes that's for sure.

This was noted when defining broadcast TV standards, and the blue component of the signal has always been radically reduced -- not in intensity, just detail, because it makes absolutely no difference. The bandwidth stolen from green was given to white and green, where it is useful.
