This is the best light therapy device on the market.

I scoured the internet for any research on light therapy. Though more studies need to be done, some basic principles emerged. To have effective light therapy, you need 10.000 lux for 30 minutes, and it should start within 30 minutes of waking.

Light boxes work, but you have to sit directly in front of the box for 30 minutes. Who is going to do that every morning?

I found this device on the internet and after reading up on it, it looked like the only serious light visor out there. It was expensive, but they did have the 30 day return policy and a warranty so I figured what the heck.

It works. It's easy to use, I am much more awake, I sleep like a log, I feel a lot better. This is my opinion, and the opinion of my wife, who noticed a big difference. She really notices how I sleep without tossing and turning.

Some comments about using this visor:
When you put it on, you need to have the house lights on or you will not be able to see to walk around. Watching TV and using the computer are can easily be done with the visor on.

You can use it while exercising in the morning. You can attach the device to any visor you want, if the visor gets all sweaty and gross.

My opinion: if you even suspect you might benefit from light therapy, this is the device to get. Get it and try it, you will know if it is going to help you within a week, and you have 30 days to return it. I ordered mine directly for the maker at feelbrightlight.com.

In my opinion and personal experience, this visor is the best SAD therapy available. I have struggled with SAD for well over 20 years and have had a light box for 12 years and have even tried some medications. But I have never experienced the results I have had with this visor. In three or four days I was already feeling the benefits. This has been the best fall season I can remember and I am actually looking forward to winter. The money for the visor is the best money I have spent in a long time. If you struggle with SAD, purchase one for yourself and your loved ones. You won't regret it!

I think this works as far as seasonal affective disorder, although the results seem subtle and may just be a placebo effect. Ask me again later in the winter :-). There are a few problems: the biggest issue is the price. I have several bicycle lights that have approximately the same components, including being programmable, and they cost approximately $30.00-$40.00. What you have here are two led lights, a cap, and a wall charger-not really worth the price, not even close. I think they are preying on peoples' unhappiness. Also, the cap is very forward-heavy; you can't just walk around your house and do things without it slipping in front of your eyes and down your face. Also, as other people have mentioned it's very bright, which is probably good for the SAD effect, but that requires careful adjustment on your head, and not something that keeps slipping forward.

Amazing product. I was skeptical at first, but desperate to combat SAD and Postpartum Depression without drugs. It works, and I don't know how - it may even be psycho-somatic - but I don't care. My anxiety is gone and I do not have any depression symptoms. Incredible. It works so well and made such a great improvement in my mood and mental well-being that my mom ordered one two weeks later and loves hers.

This is WELL worth the money. I've been on prozac, wellbutrin and various anti-anxiety drugs and no longer need them. I cannot adequately describe how happy I am to be able to use this visor instead of taking medication. If you're considering buying a visor but are hesitating because of the cost, think of it this way: co-pays for anti-depressants add up and all of us can go without the side effects. It looks weird and your partner will probably laugh at you when you wear it, but the outcome is so unbelievably strong that you will never again want to go without it.

I had to travel for a funeral and didn't use it for two days and my depression/anxiety came back almost full force. It was terrible and now I'm very careful to never miss a day. I highly recommend it to anyone suffering generalized anxiety, SAD and/or postpartum depression.

I did not want to spend the money on this item. I already have a light box that was expensive but still not cutting it when it came to living with none to little sun in the winter months (I live in the Seattle area). But what price do you put on or can you put on, your sense of well being?! So I ordered it and hands down it has helped me so much over the light box. On some level I actually feel like I'm exposed to sun light and that feeling lasts through out the day, even on gloomy, cloudy days and we have lots of those days. I am nearly unaffected by them now. I will admit I do not like wearing it for 30 minutes, it sits on top of my glasses, it's not all that comfortable but it's worth it to feel like I have my life back. I originally saw this advertised I think it was on The View for a woman with SAD and I am eternally grateful that I did, it works and it works better than anything else I've come across to date and I'm so glad I did not let the price get in my way.

After using the Light Bright Visor for about 7 days I had a horrid migraine. I didn't realize though, that this was the cause. I stopped using the visor for a few days, then started it up again. After another few days I had another severe migraine. I finally figured out what was going on. I also had symptoms of dryness in my body, my vision seemed worse, mild naseau, a very strange feeling that is hard to describe but a strange unpleasant feeling in my head. I do have a history of migraines so I now realize I should not have been using this product. I have used a light box in the past and got very good benefits from it. I would say that if you have migraines I would be cautious about using this product. Otherwise, I'm sure it will be helpful to many people.

I bought this visor last winter and it was the best winter I've had in a long time. I actually stopped using it when the days got longer and felt worse for not using it. I started again recently and you can actually feel your mood being lifted as the light registers on the back of your eye. If you are not sure whether to give this a try, get it. You have nothing to lose, you can always return it. But don't let the fact that it seems like it wouldn't work stop you.
