What is Light Therapy?
Manage episode 351014643 series 3404928
We visit with renowned Behavioral Optometrist, Dr. Robert Fox, OD, FCOVD, to talk about the “growing field” of light therapy, also known as Syntonics (once you better understand what that is, you’ll see how that’s a funny pun!).
Takeaways from today’s episode:
-Syntonic light therapy is a subset of vision therapy that uses light to access the brain’s use of the visual field and balance the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems
-Concussion survivors, stroke patients, children with learning difficulties, and individuals with developmental delays may all be viable candidates for Syntonic treatment
-Syntonics and Neuro-optometric Vision Therapy treatments can be combined for soothing and impactful results
