iPad blue light leading to trouble sleeping / insomnia?

I had an eye exam Tuesday and received the same information about sleep and macular degeneration from the doctor. He gave me a pamphlet from Harvard to read. I put f.lux on my windows computer, but cannot find anything for my Ipads. I did download what the eye doctor recommended, Eye Care Browser, there were no readable instructions or options, Japanese or Chinese?

I am very concerned about this. I lay awake until 4 or 5 in the morning before I can go to sleep. I asked him what will happen to all of the children who start using these devices/pcs at a young age. He said "a lot of problems plus macular degeneration". So we go blind from blue light and have cancer from our phones. I love my electronics, but is it worth the dangers. I destroyed my cell phone and will never have another, lost my right kidney by carrying in my pocket for almost 4 years.

The solution I discovered was to simply use my Fire HD10 for reading and internet at night. There had been a blue light filter app for my Fire HD 8.9 that worked well for reading books, but had some interference with the internet and didn't work with videos. However, the new Fire has a blue light filter option that came with a software update a few months ago. It's called "Blue Shade" and works with all apps. Its easy to turn on and off. Works great! I hope this helps.

I have misplaced the Harvard pamphlet the eye doctor gave me, try googling Harvard blue light report and see if it comes up. Yes I did have cancer in my right kidney from carrying a cell phone in my right pocket for 3 1/2 years. One sign that I ignored was the vibrating when the phone was not in my pocket. I have talked to 2 other people that feel the same vibration. A lot of things send out radiation, but you don't carry those things in your pocket. I googled and found a site that was about this subject and after reading a lot I saw this: If you don't believe this read the phone's safety section in the manual. Mine said don't put the phone within 1 inch of your body it had a list of health issues it can cause. I think every urologist that has to remove a cancerous kidney be required to ask where the patient carries his cell and report it. People do not want to believe this and they lie to themselves because they will not give up their cell. I told my nephew about it and he pulled up his phone manual and said WOW, it's all here and I did not know this. I told another young man, I could see the doubt on his face. The next time I saw him, he said you were right and it causes kidney stones and cancer. He said his wife had kidney stones on the same side she carries her phone on. Another young man told me he was so excited he and his wife just adopted a baby girl. I saw the bulge of the phone in his pocket and said to him, " you can't have children can you"? He looked at me and said "how did you know that"? I asked him how long he had carried that cell phone in his pocket, he said "since they were this big..............and you're scaring me". I said it's to late to be scared now.

I am 79 years old and I was shocked when I learned all of this, but at my age I am not to worried about it. I did put a filter on my desktop and Apple downloaded a filter for the ipads. And I trashed my cell phone.

Doesn't the nightshift setting in iOS 9.3 do the same thing as these products by adjusting the blue light that is produced by the display? Night shift (iOS9.3 update)

I've sent a mail to the devs of both GoodReader and iCab. Will report back when and if they add night vision support.

Hi Why not just, leave iPhone, /Ipad in another room Switch, off or buy a good case? Cheers Brian

DO you know where I could purchase in the USA?

Could you please tell me more about the pamphlet from Harvard I'd like to read the article. Are you implying that you had kidney cancer?
