How do Luminette glasses work?


I heard there were these new Luminette glasses that are designed to combat Seasonal Affected Disorder and others such as jet-lag. It says it uses light therapy directed to the retina, but how does that cure those problems?

Light therapy is highly effective for Seasonal Affected Disorder (see articles.) The evidence is that the amount of light is the most important factor; full spectrum has been shown to be best. The mechanism is unknown at this time, although Circadian rhythm dysfunctions are the leading therories.

I could not find any articles on Luminette glasses in either Google Scholar - http://scholar.google.com/ - or PubMed MEDLINE - http://www.pubmed.gov
