A soft contact lens comprises a plurality of light sources coupled to a plurality of optical elements. The plurality of light sources and the plurality of optical elements are embedded in a soft contact lens material. Each of said plurality of optical elements generates an image focused in front of a peripheral retina of a wearer. In some embodiments, each of the images is focused at a distance in front of the peripheral retina at a location, and each of the images comprises a depth of focus and a spatial resolution. The depth of focus can be less than the distance, and the spatial resolution greater than a spatial resolution of the peripheral retina at the location.

Devices and methods for impinging light on tissue to induce one or more biological effects, and more particularly illumination devices and related methods that may be used for intranasal delivery of irradiation are disclosed. Exemplary illumination devices may include a light guide that is optically coupled with a light source, where the light guide may be configured for insertion along one or more intranasal passageways. In this manner, the light guide may provide irradiation of light to tissues along or near the upper respiratory tract to prevent and/or treat various infections and other tissue conditions thereof. Light guides may include flexible materials with suitable dimensions and/or shapes that allow the light guides to follow variable paths of intranasal passageways during use.

The invention also relates to a glasses case. The invention also relates to the glasses of the invention for use in a method of treatment of Parkinson's Disease by phototherapy.

The inventors have developed a device for non-invasive treatment of diseases and conditions of living organisms (10) and a methodology for the use of plasma electrophysical stimulation coupled to resonance for the synchronous and synergistic application of several different physical stimuli, including light, electromagnetic field, electric current, dielectric barrier discharge, micro-vibrations and sound, which can operate at different cellular or tissue levels for the purpose of extended and more comprehensive stimulation of the target treated tissue. These factors are generated locally at the site of application, and the electromagnetic field along with electric currents allow a non-invasive application of stimulation by establishing a therapeutic resonant energy pathway (108) between the points of application of the device on the surface of the treated organism by affecting deeper located parts of the organism. In doing so, the resonance effects of these factors can be achieved by adjusting impulse profiles used for their generation. The present device also enables real-time monitoring of the treated tissue response, as well as dose control, and precise positioning of the impulse profile sources during treatment.

Methods of treating a human subject exposed to radiation in space. The methods include the steps of administering to the subject in space a chlorophyll composition sufficient to provide at least about 0.15 μM of chlorophyll or its metabolites to the subject's bloodstream, and then exposing the subject in space to light having a wavelength of about 620 nm to about 760 nm and an intensity of about 5 W/m.sup.2 to about 1000 W/m.sup.2 for at least about 5 minutes. Methods for estimating the level of ubiquinol in the bloodstream of a subject having chlorophyll or chlorophyll metabolite in the bloodstream, which may be after treatment by the above methods, include the steps of exposing the subject's skin to light to induce fluorescence of the chlorophyll or chlorophyll metabolite, measuring the level of fluorescing chlorophyll or chlorophyll metabolite in the bloodstream using fluorescence spectroscopy, and correlating the level of fluorescing chlorophyll or chlorophyll metabolite to the level of ubiquinol using a predetermined scaling factor.
