Not supposed to. I suppose if you have tints it might.

I wear contacts which are ok. But glasses do affect the efficacy of the light and obviously tints more so.
Personally I find the life of my contacts are reduced when using a light box as apposed to the summer time but hey I cant see without them so what you meant to do?
