The Australian College of Syntonics will conduct a Basic 101 course on 11-12th July 2026.
Transform your practice with evidence based light therapy. Learn the history, science, diagnostics, and treatment protocols of Syntonics so you can begin offering syntonic therapy immediately.
Presented - By Simon Grbevski BOptom, FACBO, FCOVD, FCSO.
With Richard Shanks B Optom Cert Therapeutics FACBO, Melanie Woodhouse B Optom FACBO Grad Cert Therapeutics, Ieuan Rees B.App.Sc.(Optom)(Hons) MBCO, MOSO. Grad Cert Ocular Therapeutics
Format: Virtual Meeting - You can attend from the comfort of your home!
With lectures, hands on workshops, demonstrations, and case studies
Outcome: Diagnose and develop individualised treatment plans using optometric findings, pupils, Specific light frequencies, and kinetic colour field mapping.
What You Will Learn
1. Foundations — History of Syntonics and Optometric Phototherapy; core theoretical concepts.
2. Neurophysiology — Anatomy, neurology and importance of nonvisual image forming pathways.
3. Diagnostics — Optometric tests required for diagnosis of the core syntonic syndromes; interpretation and sample case presentations.
4. Treatment Protocols — For the four basic syndromes and protocols that address more than 80% of patients who benefit from syntonics.
5. Clinical Integration — How to incorporate Syntonics into vision therapy programs and practice management.
6. Practical Start Up — Everything needed to start syntonic therapy in your practice immediately.
7. Photobiomodulation — Impact of light on systemic physiology and local ocular effects.
8. Chronobiology — How environmental and specific lighting produce profound biological effects.
9. Hands On Learning — Demonstrations, workshops, and case studies showing clinical impact.
