Syntonics & Phototherapy

Book now

Syntonics has been used over 80+ years by optometrists. It is a great non-invasive treatment with great success rates. It can be used in the treatment of visual and visual related conditions: headaches, eyestrain, reading problems, attention deficit, amblyopia (lazy eye),  strabismus (crossed eye/cquint), traumatic brain injury and vision related learning disorders


As one of the few optometry clinics offering this specialized service, we have seen life-changing results for our patients. Whether addressing learning-related vision issues, post-concussion recovery, improving athletic performance or improving attention and hand eye coordination for a child living with special needs, Syntonics may be an option at any age. 

WHAT TO EXPECT?

  Syntonics consist of the patient wearing coloured filtered glasses for about 10-20 minutes over several sessions. Applying light to certain areas of the brain can help stimulate the brain and restore the body’s nervous system. Different colours stimulate the brain in different ways.

Similar to pre-mature babies receiving light therapy through the skin, we provide therapy through the eyes.

To determine if syntonics may be helpful for you, schedule a session with us.  

How Is the Balance of the Nervous System Restored?

“Syntony” means balance, and in this case refers to the balance of an integrated nervous system. The autonomic nervous system consists of the sympathetic (“fight or flight”) and parasympathetic (“rest and digest”) nervous system. The colored light used in syntonic phototherapy stimulates the visual system which, in turn, changes the biochemistry of the brain. The color used to stimulate this change depends on the specific condition of the patient. For example, red light stimulates the sympathetic nervous system while blue light stimulates the parasympathetic nervous system.

To monitor the change and treatment progress, the pupil reaction, functional visual field and binocularity measured before and during a phototherapy session. Once the balance of the two systems is restored, the results are usually long-lasting.
