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 photosensitivity;
•
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 Vitamin L, or if you've been using
the light for a week but haven't noticed any benefit, please contact
Lumie or speak to your doctor.
IMPORTANT: the guidelines in this leaflet are not medical directions for
treating any condition.
