According to the website linked below, blue light by itself does not cause eye damage. Since the sun contains all spectrums of light (including blue), does blue light really cause damage? Or do people simply want to blame device overuse?

I am not fully education on technology systems and how screens work but I'd assume that the concentration of blue light may be harmful while a large portion of the sun's light is blocked by the atmosphere and clouds.
