D. Contraindications
No matter your reason for using Luminette®, we recommend not exceeding the
recommended daily duration of use.
There are very few contraindications.
If you have an eye disease (glaucoma, retinitis or retinopathy, or macular
degeneration), we recommend that you consult a specialist before using the
Luminette®. If you have cataracts, light therapy might be less effective.
For people with a bipolar disorder, the Luminette® could be beneficial if used at
the right time when someone is in a depressive phase. But care should be taken as
there is always the risk of triggering a manic phase. It is therefore recommended to
time a session for midday, when the person is least sensitive to light and therefore
less likely to swing into a manic phase. The same is true for cases of hysteria,
neurosis and psychosis.
It is also not advisable to use the Luminette® whilst driving a vehicle, or using
machinery requiring concentration and a wide field of vision.
