Device and method for using light therapy for medical treatment

A process for controlling a visor for aiding users with macular degeneration, the process comprising:

• activating a first cluster of light-emitting devices and a second cluster of light-emitting devices for a first period of time, wherein:
• the first cluster of light-emitting devices includes a first set of light-emitting devices of a first color, a first set of light-emitting devices of a second color, and a first set of infrared (IR) light-emitting devices;
• and
• the second cluster of light-emitting devices includes a second set of light-emitting devices of the first color, a second set of light-emitting devices of the second color, and a second set of infrared (IR) light-emitting devices;
• deactivating the first cluster of light-emitting devices and the second cluster of light-emitting devices for a second period of time;
• and
• activating the first cluster of light-emitting devices and the second cluster of light-emitting devices for a third period of time.

A visor for use in aiding patients with macular degeneration, the visor comprising:

• an array of light-emitting devices comprising:
• a first cluster of the light-emitting devices including:
• a first set of light-emitting devices of a first color;
• a first set of light-emitting devices of a second color;
• and
• a first set of infrared (IR) light-emitting devices;
• and
• a second cluster of the light-emitting devices including:
• a second set of light-emitting devices of the first color;
• a second set of light-emitting devices of the second color;
• and
• a second set of IR light-emitting devices;
• and
• a controller that controls activation of the array of light-emitting devices such that:
• the array of light-emitting devices is active for a first period of time;
• after the array of light-emitting devices is active for the first period of time, the array of light-emitting devices is inactive for a second period of time;
• and
• after the array of light-emitting devices is inactive for the second period of time, the array of light-emitting devices is active for a third period of time.
