Abstract: |
An apparatus for administering light to effect re-timing of the human body clock is disclosed. In one form, the apparatus includes two pairs of light emitting diodes having an emission wavelength in the range 450 nm to 530 nm and a frame adapted to be worn on the face of a wearer. The frame is arranged to support the two pairs of light emitting diodes so that one pair of the light emitting diodes is supported adjacent a surface of each eye of the wearer. The light emitting diodes of each pair project a light output that illuminates a different area of the retina of a respective eye and are spaced apart so as to provide a viewing zone therebetween. |
