Q. How do the glasses work?
A. The theory behind the glasses is that by programming
them to blink on the non-dominant (weaker) eye, the
light pulses to the brain stimulate the weaker side
of the brain so that it is functioning at an elevated
level. The side of dominance has an increase in vascular
activity, with higher amounts of oxygen and nutrients
delivered. Therefore, the side of non-dominance is
being deprived of oxygen and nutrients, a probable
cause of disease. Eyelights help to balance out both
sides of the brain. Top
Q.
How do I determine my non-dominant eye (weaker) eye?
A. The easiest way to determine your non-dominant
eye is to perform the "circle test:"
1. Make a circle or "okay" sign with both
hands by overlapping your thumb and forefinger to
make a circle.
2. Place the circles on top of each other and extend
arms fully.
3. Looking through the circle with both eyes open,
focus on an object on the wall, putting it in the
center of the circle.
4. Close the left eye and note if object stayed in
the center of circle, or if object moved out of the
circle.
5. Open left eye and then close right eye, noting
again whether object stayed in center or moved.
6. Whichever eye is OPEN when the object moves out
of the circle is your non-dominant eye. So, whichever
eye is open when the object is in center of your circle
is your dominant eye. Top
Q.
Who can use Eyelights?
A. Practically anyone can wear Eyelights. Pro athletes,
children with learning disabilities, and people suffering
from neurological disorders are all wearing Eyelights.

Q.
How long do I wear Eyelights?
A. The standard protocol calls for 5 minutes 2-3 times
a day for beginners. Eventually you work your way
up to 15-20 minutes 2-3 times a day. For athletes,
the lights can be worn for longer periods of time
if the glasses are programmed for physical activity.
Those experiencing neurological problems (stroke,
seizures, etc.) need to consult their doctor for the
proper protocol. Top
Q.
Will I have to continue to wear Eyelights indefinitely?
A. While Eyelights do have a lasting effect from each
wearing, in order for your brain to work at its maximum
potential Eyelights will have to be worn on a regular
basis. Our environment is constantly causing our bodies
to break down, whether from chemicals, water, air,
lights, or foods. Eyelights are able to keep the brain
stimulated, potentially warding off sensitivities,
diseases, or injuries. Top
Q.
When do I wear Eyelights?
A. Eyelights can be worn during your normal daily
routine or activity. They can be worn in the classroom,
or while studying. They can be worn while working
on computer, during an aerobic workout, while vacuuming,
or watching television. Top
Q.
What if I wear prescription glasses?
A. While a clip-on version of Eyelights is in the
works, at this time we recommend that you wear the
Eyelights at a time when your prescription glasses
are not needed, since the amount of time you are wearing
your Eyelights is minimal. Top
Q.
Which color component do I use?
A. If you desire to increase mental function, you
would pick the red component.
If you desire to increase physical function, you
would pick the black component. Top
Q.
What colored lens do I choose?
A. A different colored lens can be chosen depending
on what you are trying to achieve. Children with learning
problems often use blue or violet. Athletes needing
to push through a plateau would benefit from red.

Q.
Which setting do I choose?
A. If you want to increase your motor or sensory response,
use the bottom row of lights blinking brighter.
If you want to improve mental, cognitive, or emotional
response, use the upper row of lights blinking brighter.
Top
Q.
How long does the battery last?
A. The battery should be good for 40-60 hours of use.
Eyelights use a 3 volt lithium battery. Top
Q.
What if my component breaks?
A. If the electronic component breaks due to a product
defect, we will repair/replace at no charge. If the
component breaks due to "wear & tear" you
will need to buy a replacement component. Top
