Syntonic Phototherapy
Discover a gentle, non-invasive path to restoring your body’s natural equilibrium with Syntonic Phototherapy. This remarkable therapy operates on the principle that the connection between our eyes and brain is the key to regulating our overall well-being. By harnessing the power of specific light frequencies, we can address underlying imbalances in the nervous system that contribute to visual stress, headaches, and learning difficulties. Step into a state of harmony and experience how colored light therapy can enhance your visual performance and improve your quality of life.
About Syntonic Phototherapy
What It Is
Syntonic Phototherapy is an advanced, doctor-prescribed neuro-optometric treatment that uses specific frequencies of visible light to correct visual dysfunctions and rebalance the autonomic nervous system. For nearly a century, this discipline has recognized that light is essential not just for sight, but for regulating fundamental body functions. The therapy aims to treat the root cause of many visual problems by addressing imbalances between the body's sympathetic ("fight or flight") and parasympathetic ("rest and digest") systems, which are often the source of symptoms like eye strain, constricted visual fields, and poor visual processing.
How It Works
The science of Syntonics is based on the powerful connection between the eyes and the brain's key regulatory centers, like the hypothalamus and pineal gland. When you look at a specific color, you are absorbing a particular wavelength of light. This light energy travels through the optic nerve not only to the vision center of the brain but also to these non-visual centers that control hormonal balance, sleep cycles, and the autonomic nervous system. Based on your specific condition, a prescribed color is used to either stimulate an underactive system or calm an overactive one, thereby restoring neurological balance and often leading to a dramatic improvement in visual function and comfort.
Your journey with Syntonic Phototherapy begins with a comprehensive visual evaluation to determine if this treatment is right for you. This may include mapping your functional visual field to detect any stress-related constrictions. If an imbalance is found, a personalized treatment plan is created. A typical therapy program consists of a series of short, relaxing sessions, usually around 20 in total. During each session, you will simply look into a specialized instrument that emits the precise, prescribed color of light for about 10-20 minutes. Progress is carefully monitored throughout the program to track the positive changes in your vision and overall well-being.

-
Syntonics is often used to treat visually-related learning disorders, focusing and attention problems, lazy eye (amblyopia), eye turns (strabismus), and symptoms of stress and trauma, such as headaches and constricted visual fields.
-
Yes, it is a safe and non-invasive therapy that has been successfully used by trained optometrists for decades. The treatment uses only specific, controlled frequencies of visible light.
-
The sessions are short and relaxing. You will simply sit comfortably and look into a specialized instrument called a Syntonizer, which directs a specific color of light toward your eyes for a prescribed period of time.
-
Syntonic Phototherapy is often used as a foundational tool within a broader vision therapy program. By balancing the nervous system first, it makes subsequent vision therapy treatments more effective and efficient.
