Eyelights
and Learning Problems
Seeing is our dominant sense and primary source for gathering information in
learning. Vision problems can have a profound effect on how a child learns. A
vision problem can be easily mistaken for a learning problem. For example, children
who have visual problems often can’t stay focused on their school work
or task at hand. They may be misdiagnosed as ADHD because children with ADHD
elicit the same problems in the same areas.

“Untreated
eye conditions can worsen and lead to other
serious problems, as well as affect learning ability,
athletic performance, and self esteem.”

Eyelights
therapy will strengthen the weaker eye and help correct
many vision problems that
may contribute to a child’s learning abilities.
|
| |
- Accommodation (eye focusing)
- Visual-motor integration (eye/hand coordination,
sports vision)
- Eye tracking skills (eyes following a line of print)
- Visual perception (visual memory, visual form perception,
directionality)

Increase Serotonin Production
Children who are diagnosed with learning disabilities
have a neurotransmitter imbalance and are often not
producing enough serotonin. Serotonin is a major
chemical in the brain involved in communication between
nerves. It is involved in controlling emotions, ability
to pay attention, motivation to do things, and ability
to think before acting.
Drugs such as Ritalin are used to stimulate the
brain into producing elevated levels of serotonin.
However, these drugs can cause serious side effects
such as tics, insomnia, dependency, and a dramatic
decrease in appetite which can lead to stunted growth.
Eyelights can promote serotonin production naturally,
without the side effects caused by drugs. Eyelights
excite the receptors at the back of the retina, which
in turn fire to the brain stem in three different
areas. One of these areas is the pons, which stimulates
A7 and A8 cells into producing serotonin.
Recent studies have shown that children who play
video games end up with increased serotonin levels.
Again, this is what Eyelights achieves naturally
with its light pulses to the brain, while allowing
a child to study or play a sport at the same time.
Increase Dopamine Production
Dopamine in the brain controls motor function
and strength of muscle. Eyelights stimulate A9
and A10
cells, located in the mesencephalon of the brain,
into producing higher levels of dopamine. Higher
dopamine levels can increase a child’s ability
to kick a soccer ball, hit a baseball, or throw
a football.
Many athletes
are wearing Eyelights to help improve their game.
Before the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney,
members of the U.S. Women’s Swim Team were
outfitted with the glasses and several went on to
win gold medals. One Olympic gold medal swimmer,
Lars Frolander from Sweden, was one of the people
initially responsible for the research and development
of Eyelights. He had begun to see a decrease in his
level of athletic performance and sought treatment
from Dr. Peter Jaillet, inventor of Eyelights. During
the course of treatment Dr. Jaillet found that light
therapy worked best at increasing his physical abilities
in and out of the pool. Because Lars often traveled
around the world for competitions, he needed portability
to the therapy he was receiving in the office. Thus,
Eyelights were born!

Find
out how Eyelights are helping students perform better:
"I have been using Eyelights with two of my students…after
the first wearing of the glasses, I saw significant
improvement…Christina is finishing her oral reading
with wonderful fluency, her writing is neat and legible
(which it was not before)…I am very pleased
with the results we are seeing." Nancy R. - Resource
Teacher (Aberdeen Elementary School, Idaho)
"Knowing
the overall changes in my sons behavior, we feel the
glasses have carried us over a major plateau and into
a new area…he now gets himself up with the use
of the glasses, rather than being woken and grumpy…
he is definitely more aware of others, answers social
questions, and responds spontaneously and timely."
Pat F.
"Before
using the glasses I was making C's in school, now
I am making A's and B's. I am more alert in the classroom
and on the field." Aubrey B.
