Abstract
An eyewear for administering colored light therapy comprising an eyepiece; a frame element for supporting said eyepiece in a position exposing the inner surface thereof to the wearer of said eyewear; and a plurality of light-generating units on said frame element each for generating a light of controlled color and intensity and illuminating onto said inner surface of said eyepiece for display of said generated light to the eyes of said wearer. The eyewear provides a colored light therapy display area close to the eyes of the wearer allowing for convenient implementation of the therapy almost anywhere. The eyewear is also easy to be converted into an eyewear of fun for entertainment purposes by the replacement of a transparent eyepiece.
