As far as I can remember in my decade of being here...this particular take has never been put forward. Not the blindness part...but the billions already spending hours a day looking at their devices. This didn’t start with the iPhone....but even if you only wanted to consider the last 12 years. That’s more than enough time that SIGNIFICANT eye health problems should already be at pandemic stage.
Everywhere western style diet has been taking hold....you can see obesity skyrocketing. Whether it’s the hamburger or the bun is hotly debated. It MIGHT even be a world wide onset of laziness. But you can see that obesity and it’s related diseases are rampant and growing.
All we have for devices damaging eye health is bupkus. It’s people PROJECTING there will be health problems....not people seeing actual increases in eye health problems and then tying those results to device usage.

This particular take on eink vs LCD/OLED screens, come on now it’s not been six months even since this very topic was split off another thread and we saw spirited debates on the nature of light in a front lit eink device vs a backlit device. And the health issues of each. Evidence of this is in the first few replies.
And the hyperbole certainly doesn’t assist anything. It’s blatant sure, but if you’re trying for an honest discussion it’s just bad form.
