It doesn't have to be perfect to notice a difference. Basically, before shelling out big bucks for some fancy sunglasses, just get some cheap, amber safety glasses and use those. You'll notice changes right away BUT - And this is the other thing you'll want to try - I took mine glasses off and put them around my neck to block the over-abundant blue light from beating on my thyroid and wow!
I won't go into all of what I've been up to in my explorations these past few months as I've been focused on herbs and only saw my first Dr. Kruse interview a couple of days ago but the blue light issue is so intense, it's a "right now" event - a happening that's happening right now, through your eyes and your skin, where it's beating up on your over-exposed, "close to the surface" thyroid, right this minute - so there's an immediate effect. Like palming the eyes reduce stress, light effects things in real time. Palming has its effect because it blocks light - including the dastardly blue light - and I've only had my glasses around my neck for about a half hour and am experiencing a significant boost of energy. Even more than wearing them normally, for the eyes.
I don't know if I have an undetected issue with my thyroid or what it is but I'm experiencing a measurable difference, even without any fancy equipment to actually measure what's going on.
I've experienced some unexpected and unmistakable changes and adjustments in my eyes and vision from wearing them normally but this is even more so. And this is with regular, cheap amber safety glasses so I'm guessing that even haphazardly blocking SOME blue light will have an effect on those who are over-exposed - as nearly everyone must be, given the use of phones, computers, night-time and/or all day and often even sleep-time LED light exposure.
As Dr. Kruse says, this is big and far more important than what one eats or how much vitamins, minerals and exercise one gets. This is SUPER big science that's happening right now and looking at these things that have never been looked at, physiologically, before - and when I say "SUPER" big, I mean big, as in "BIG", with a cape, big. Particularly when it comes to vision, aging and, apparently, weight-loss. Which I can't report on having only come upon this "not quite new" information in just the past couple of days.
So, for those who enjoy such things, get your scientific reference books, glossaries and dictionaries out and look into it - for those who enjoy such explorations. I promise, you won't be disappointed.

Just FYI - Dr. Kruse is a neurosurgeon so HIS solution to HIS light problem was to move to Louisiana and take his clothes off, LOL! Which ain't happening, for me, so you'll have to get creative . My solution, I suspect, and though not laboratory grade, is probably going to involve morning sunlight for the eyes, less clothing and controlling dastardly man-made blue light flood with terracotta colored bed sheets to create a sort of indoor "light shower", amber cellophane and dyed linen fabric and curtains, but only because I happen to have about a quarter ton of linen laying around. I've already replaced most of my LED bulbs with incandescent ones (for some low wattage heat experiments) and will try to get the last or them replaced, today.Also designing a mobile, private, outdoor sunbathing booth, which is sort of tricky.

You CAN tan through clothes. Hold the fabric up to the light, if you can see light through it you may tan while wearing it. I used to wear black cotton Ts and scrub pants and lay in the sun. I tanned even through the black fabric. Probably thinner, light colored fabric would work best.
