Would've appreciated this more if she could be talked about as herself and not as "Elon Musk's girlfriend".

Seriously! Got a long career as an innovative indie musician? Who cares, you're a rich CEO's girlfriend.

Elon Musk is one of the most well-known and controversial celebrities of our time. Articles are written to drive clicks more than anything, especially on a big site like Yahoo. Do you think anyone would have clicked on this article if it didn't have his name all over it?

I think we all know why, we just don't like it.

Seems to be a real thing:

* Blue-Blocking IOLs vs. Short-Wavelength Visible Light: Hypothesis-Based vs. Evidence-Based Medical Practice [0]

* Blue-blocking IOLs Decrease Photoreception Without Providing Significant Photoprotection [1]

* Augmentation of Macular Pigment following Implantation of Blue Light–Filtering Intraocular Lenses at the Time of Cataract Surgery [2]

* The evidence informing the surgeon's selection of intraocular lens on the basis of light transmittance properties [3]

* Blue-blocking intraocular implants should be used routinely during phacoemulsification surgery – Yes [4]

I was just as surprised to learn about the surgery as about the fact that Elon Musk and Grimes are a couple. What an unlikely pair.
