Straight answer

Who actually benefits from a blue-light lens?

The honest position: blue light from screens has not been shown to damage the retina. What it does reliably affect is comfort and sleep, and those are worth treating.

We tend to recommend a blue-light filter if you work long hours on screens and finish the day with tired, achy eyes; if you use devices late in the evening and struggle to fall asleep; or if you are already in glasses and the coating costs little to add. We will tell you when we do not think you need it — it is a lens option, not a cure.

Digital eye strain is usually a combination of blue light, reduced blink rate, and a focusing demand your current prescription is not set up for. That last part is the one most people miss — which is why we would rather check it during a comprehensive eye exam than sell you a coating and hope. If screens are the main problem, Neurolens and Eyezen are often the better answer.
