2 Precautions
Research shows that light therapy is very safe. However, please
check with your doctor first if any of the following apply:
you have a major eye problem or have had eye surgery;
you have been advised to avoid bright light or are taking
medication that may cause photo-sensitivity;
you have been diagnosed with depression or other mood/sleep
disorders. This is especially important if you are also taking
medication for this, since light therapy can also affect your mood.
A few people experience side effects but these are generally mild
(including headaches, eye strain, nausea and hyperactivity) and can
usually be solved simply by switching off the light. Over the next
few days, gradually build up the time you spend in front of it to find
a treatment time that works best for you. Some people complain of
difficulty sleeping and often this is down to using the light too close
to bedtime.
If you have any problems while using Desklamp, or if you've been
using the light for a week but haven't noticed any benefit, please
call your Lumie distributor or speak to your doctor.
IMPORTANT: the guidelines in this leaflet are not medical directions
for treating any condition. If your doctor has suggested using light
therapy, follow their instructions and discuss any effects with them.
