You've made the extraordinary claim that reflections are the sole cause of eye strain, a claim for which you've provided no evidence, choosing instead to dismiss a peer-reviewed Harvard study as 'garbage' without any reasoned argument.

Let's be clear on the facts...

Digital Eye Strain is multifactorial: Every reputable source, from the American Optometric Association to countless ophthalmology studies, confirms that eye strain from displays has multiple causes. These include flicker (from PWM and FRC) and the fundamental difference between emissive and reflected light. Claiming that it's only due to reflections is demonstrably false.

The science is valid: The Harvard study you dismissed found that backlit LCDs cause two to three times more cellular stress than front-lit e-paper displays. That's a measurable, scientific finding. It's just one of many studies that supports these basic findings.

History is being misrepresented: Eye strain from CRTs in the 1970s was also due to multiple factors with flicker being a primary and well-documented cause, not just reflections.

Provide a credible study that proves reflections are the sole cause of digital eye strain. Without supporting evidence, it's nothing more than an unsubstantiated personal opinion.
