From a standpoint of ruthless neurobiological efficiency for setting the circadian clock, which is the lesser of two evils regarding eyewear during morning light exposure: blue-light blocking glasses or high-quality sunglasses? Does wearing any kind of filtering eyewear during the morning viewing protocol completely negate the benefits by filtering out the specific blue/yellow wavelengths needed to activate the melanopsin retinal ganglion cells, or is the sheer intensity (lux) of outdoor light sufficient to overcome the filter to some degree? Is it a binary 'works/doesn't work' situation, or is there a gradient of effectiveness?
