Save the date…

The next Ask a Syntonist event will be Monday, March 16th at 8pm Eastern.

Dr. Steve Curtis will present the topic "“Are You Ready For the Unexpected?”

As syntonic providers, we often focus on visual and functional outcomes — acuity, binocular stability, performance gains. Yet the influence of filtered light extends beyond vision. As introduced in the Syntonics 101 Course, syntonic phototherapy can modulate the autonomic nervous system, influencing physiology, mood, and emotional processing.
This presentation will review clinical cases that highlight responses outside traditional visual goals and discuss our responsibility to anticipate, recognize, and manage these broader effects safely and confidently.

The "Ask a Syntonist" events are for current members of the College of Syntonic Optometry and the Australian College of Syntonics. For membership information, visit csovision.org/membership.
