A child or adult may struggle with visual stress, trouble focusing, or difficulty staying engaged. These challenges can be related to how their visual system processes light.
Syntonic light therapy uses gentle, colored light to help balance the visual system and support better attention, comfort, and visual performance. Many find it calming and easier to participate in daily tasks after treatment.
Light therapy is an effective visual development strategy for being gentle and noninvasive therapy.
