Syntonics is the application of light via the eyes to bring about changes in visual function and health.

Visible light has been shown to cause changes in many bodily functions including functional visual fields, focussing flexibility, mood, circadian rhythms and blood biochemistry. These changes are triggered via the retino-hypothalamic-pituitary-pineal axis, the complex secondary visual pathway.

We have had success with syntonics in:

• enhancing the awareness of peripheral vision resulting in improved reading eye movement efficiency
• decreasing hypersensitivities in autistic children
• reducing distortion areas resulting from cystic macular degeneration
• decreasing glare sensitivity

Eyelights are a type of goggle with an array of LEDs that are designed to flash intermittently on the non-preferred eye. They cause an arousal in the brain which helps to balance function between the eyes. (more..)

The Eyeport is a powerful eye exercise unit which trains fixation, eye movement, eye teaming and peripheral awareness. It incorporates syntonic principles in that it uses alternating red and blue LEDs which alternately stimulate and relax the autonomic nervous system which is involved in focus. The Eyeport comes with a well structured 3 month exercise program for home use. We also incorporate it into office-based Vision Therapy.
