Do green-blocking glasses enhance the nonvisual effects of white polychromatic light?
It is well known that light containing the blue component stimulates the intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells (ipRGCs) and plays a role in melatonin suppression and pupillary constriction. In ou... (Source: Journal of Physiological Anthropology)
