    but its fact that smartphone displays make deaf, blind and stupid - and wet wet wet, hopefully their devices were waterproof :D

    So, there's nothing concrete according to them. All those articles are simply speculation.

    Unequivocally without question. Evidence is plain as day and requires no independent (uh hem) technical studies.

    I was thinking about this when I ordered specs from Zenni a few days ago. I went with the BLOCKZ lenses because they were 30% off, whereas normal ones were only 20%, even though I was fairly convinced there was no actual benefit based on what I had read. The extra cost of paying for "just in case" was $5. I guess I was being rationale about an emotional decision.:confused:

    Ultimately there is no scientific proof of anything without a contradicting story that claims otherwise. In this case I assume it is just a story created to shift liability away from the manufacturers of these devices. I'm sure they will reference it when someone tries to sue them.
