AYOpro Light Therapy Glasses

Can it be worn with prescription glasses?

AYOpro is designed to be able to be used with the most common prescription glasses’ frames. The AYOpro wearable has a flexible nosepiece, which can be adjusted to allow an easier positioning of both the prescription glasses and the wearable. By bending the nosepiece horizontally, AYOpro becomes more like a frame, which can be put on top of the prescription glasses. For an optimal experience and whenever possible, we recommend using AYOpro glasses without prescription glasses as the glasses can interfere with the light diffusion of AYOpro glasses. If you use prescription glasses with a blue-light blocking filter, ensure that the filter is not blocking blue-turquoise light of 470 nm of wavelength since the light from AYOpro glasses will not be efficient.

How does this work? Is it worn in the mornings only? 

The recommended usage is one or two 20-min sessions in the morning upon waking up. However, it depends on the desired effect (i.e. adjusting sleep-wake cycle, boosting energy, improving sleep, alleviating jet lag, etc.). In the AYOpro app offers tailored program for when it should be used for different requirements.

What is Light Therapy

Light therapy, sometimes called phototherapy, or bright light therapy, is the use of light to treat a broad range of health and medical conditions. Light therapy glasses are portable devices worn while you get dressed, have breakfast, work out or even have an early morning conference call instead of being anchored in your chair during therapy. But it may ease symptoms, increase your energy levels, and help you feel better.

Sleep/circadian problems you can treat with light therapy

Circadian rhythm is the biological clock that regulates several physiological functions of the body, including the sleep-wake cycle, immunity, hormone secretion, and temperature.

Light therapy’s impact on the body clock lends itself to a range of conditions broadly concerned with circadian health. Here’s a quick rundown:

Insomnia

Difficulty falling asleep at night can occur for numerous reasons. If you’ve been diagnosed with chronic insomnia you should seek qualified medical advice and appropriate treatment like CBTi.

Difficulty waking up

Waking up, especially when it’s still dark outside, can be difficult to cope with if you’re not a natural early riser.  Using AYO bright light in the morning helps your body adapt to being awake.

Jetlag

Travelling across time zones causes your sleep/wake schedules to be completely out of whack with your body clock. Whether it’s for work, or even a leisure break, you want to feel energised and at your best when you reach your destination.

Shiftwork

Shift workers, and especially nightshift workers, face enormous challenges in adapting their body clock to fit work schedules that often change, rotate and turn day into night.

Energy boost
If you work in a dimly lit environment, or you’re generally tired during the day, light therapy glasses are an ideal, safe way to give you a direct energy boost when having an afternoon slump because they simulate the natural invigorating effects of being in bright sunlight.

Numerous research studies and over 20 years of Chronobiology and Light Therapy research performed in leading institutions, including Harvard, Oxford and NASA, have shown that we can actively support our circadian rhythm in order to obtain healthier, happier and more active lives. These disciplines and insights are the cornerstone of Circadian Health.
