How to Use the TheraLite Light Therapy Lamp
Plan to use the light therapy box shortly in the morning and/or shortly after waking up. To use, place the light within the line of sight. For best results, users will want to maximize the amount of light that reaches their eyes by facing the light with their eyes open (but not looking directly into the light). Users may want to start with 10 minutes of light therapy sitting 10 inches away from the light and adjust the time and distance based on their response.Features and Benefits
