I've not seen any convincing evidence of that at all. And there is no real plausible physiological mechanism proposed to date.

The data in this poll is of about the same use as the data saying that a certain percentage of people developed x side effect while they were on y drug. Without a controlled randomised blinded trial and a good placebo, and replication, it means nothing about causation.

I am not saying that people are deliberately trolling; however, if they have experienced 'eyestrain' symptoms, I do not know on what basis they are attributing them to PWM. There are multiple other far more likely mechanisms.
