from:Using light therapy boxes for a bright light therapy is a method wherein the individual sits close to the light box with the eyes wide open, with the light shining upon the person’s face. It does necessarily require the individual to look directly into the light bulb and a person can read a book, write or eat while undergoing the treatment. Each treatment lasts for about 15 minutes to three hours, but this can be adjusted depending on the desired results. Maximum results can be achieved within a span of two days to several weeks depending on the severity of an individual’s condition.
