ABSTRACT:
The present invention is an apparatus for producing and delivering high-intensity light to the eyes of a subject to modify the subject's circadian phase. The apparatus includes a support for positioning the apparatus above the eyes of the subject, a light generator for producing a cool, high-intensity light which is radiated to the eyes of the subject, and a power source coupled to the apparatus for supplying power to the light generator. The support of the invention is preferably a visor which does not obstruct the subject's vision when positioned on the head.
