Led Light Glasses Help Treat Insomnia
Another new optical product, but actually it is not new. As early as March 2003, in the Commercialisation Forum and Fair of Ideas in Sydney, this LED light glasses were displayed to the public for the first time.
Australian Researcher from Flinders University developed this special LED light glasses designed to adjust people’s biological clocks and address the circadian rhythm problems like insomnia and jet lag, as well as problems from workers of night shifts. And this LED light glasses is being commercialized by Flinders Technologies Pty. Ltd. of Australia.
The mechanism of the special glasses arises from the bright light therapy of treating diseases like insomnia and mental disorder like depression. Traditionally strong lights are deployed to tinker body’s response to light, and put people’s biological clock to an appropriate status. Comparing with the bulky and immobile light devices, the LED light glassed utilize 9V battery to power the LED light installed in a pair of special eyeglasses, providing blue light directly to the eyes, making the wearers easily reset the body clock to the proper time.
This product hopefully can address a market which is not small at all. Based on statistics, insomnia only has a $5 billion market, while 94% of the long distance travelers have the jet lag problems. In addition, the population of seasonal depression reaches 70-80 million in US and Europe only.
