Introducing Luminette(TM): The World's First Light Therapy Glasses
BRUSSELS, October 28, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --
Proven relief for those suffering from winter blues, sleep problems and jetlag Â
For millions of people, the arrival of fall and winter are unwelcome events. A change
in seasons often brings a change in their physical and mental health, due to fewer hours
of sunlight.

However, Belgium-based company Lucimed offers a new portable solution for those who
suffer from seasonally induced issues: the Luminette, a new light therapy device, which is
now available in Europe.
Developed after four years of university research and clinical trials, Luminette is a
wearable light therapy device providing proven relief from Seasonal Affective Disorder
(SAD), sleep disorders, and circadian rhythm issues (jet lag and shift work).
Unlike traditional light therapy devices, which require users to remain stationary in
front of a lightbox, Luminette is worn like a pair of glasses that sit just above the
eyes. It can be worn around the house or at work. Twenty minutes per day is enough to
treat and prevent issues during months when sunlight is reduced.
There's also a Luminette app [https://itunes.apple.com/fr/app/apple-store/id1043144578
] that generates biological clock rephasing programmes based on algorithms developed by
the chronotherapist Roland Pec. These programmes include all known chronobiological tools:
light exposure, avoidance of light, taking melatonin, sleep, etc.
"We're thrilled to be bringing Luminette to the world and helping people that face
health issues during the fall and winter months," said Eric Delloye, Managing Director of
Lucimed, which manufactures Luminette in Belgium. "We live in an active society and
Luminette is designed to provide relief for people and their on-the-go lives." Â
Luminette's 1,500-lux blue-enriched white light is output from LEDs. It hits the
diffraction lens and stimulates the retina, without affecting vision. Light shines
downwards into the eyes, just as sunlight naturally does. Receptors in the eye then send a
signal to the body's circadian clock regulator, stopping the secretion of melatonin, which
naturally "wakes up" all body systems.
Luminette is UV and infrared-free and is classified as a safe product for the eyes in
compliance with standard IEC 62471.
It is available now for sale on http://www.myluminette.com/en and in some good
pharmacies. Luminette is also available online for a test period of 1 month. Â
