To help determine if you have sensitivity to light treatment, we recommend that you
perform this pretest upon first use of this device:
Step 1 - Turn on the lamp and position it about 18 inches from your face. (Do not
look directly into the lamp.)
Step 2 - Operate the lamp for approximately 10 minutes and turn it off. If the light
has caused any discomfort, stop using the lamp and consult a doctor.
If you have no discomfort, you may consider gradually decreasing the
distance from the lamp and increasing the use time, which results in more
lamp intensity and greater effect. For your initial sessions, you should
monitor the degree of any discomfort and accordingly adjust the time used
and lamp location.
WARNING:
Certain medications (e.g., anti-depressants) and diagnosed
mental health conditions may induce light sensitivity, which may result in
discomfort, hyperactivity, or hypomania. Consult with your healthcare provider
before using this product.
WARNING:
If you have a pre-existing eye condition, or are at risk for
developing Age Related Macular Degeneration or other eye conditions consult
with your healthcare provider before using this product.
WARNING:
Individuals diagnosed with mental health issues should
contact their physician prior to use of this product. Over exposure to light
therapy may lead to hypomania.
Device Pretest
Verilux HappyLights provide
broad spectrum light therapy
to stimulate all of the eye's
photoreceptors: cones, rods and
the newly discovered melanopsin.
HappyLights offer photopic light
(primarily stimulating the cones)
and scotopic light (primarily
stimulating the rods) to reduce the
size of the pupil, relaxing the eye
for more comfortable light therapy.
Melanopsin helps set the body's
daily cycles and is triggered by
Natural Spectrum Light. Scientists
have demonstrated that bright light
therapy can act like daylight to
restore balance, mood and energy.
