It doesn’t affect your eyesight, it affects your health.
It suppresses melatonin suppression, which can lead to an increased risk of developing hormonal cancers. It also seems to be linked to obesity, insomnia and depression.

Blue light blocking glasses helps by blocking the blue light from reaching your eyes. But if they don’t look yellow/orange they don’t do anything.

Important point, we actually need blue light during the day. It’s the transition from day to night that is healthy, and spending the day indoor means we’re less exposed to blue light during the day and as such more sensitive to blue light exposure at night.
