NCT ID NCT07168954
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study tested a pair of smart glasses called Lumos Glasses that control how much blue light reaches your eyes. The glasses provide bright blue light during the day and block it at night to support your body's natural sleep-wake cycle. Researchers wanted to see if wearing these glasses could improve depression symptoms and sleep quality in 96 adults who spend less than 2 hours outdoors daily.
