Sarah’s Success Story: Co-Managing Eye Health with Naturopathy and Syntonics
At Advanced Eyecare & Therapies, we believe in a holistic approach to eye care that considers the whole person, not just their symptoms. This philosophy led Dr. Todd Wylie to co-manage a recent patient’s case with a naturopath, using both naturopathy and syntonics therapy. This collaborative approach resulted in significant improvements in the patient’s overall well-being and eye health. We’ve seen incredible results from this approach to eye care and emphasize the importance of personalized, holistic healthcare.
Understanding Naturopathy and Syntonics
Naturopathy is a holistic approach to health that emphasizes the body’s ability to heal itself. It uses natural therapies, such as nutrition, herbal medicine, and lifestyle counseling, to promote overall wellness. Naturopathy aims to address the root causes of health issues instead of treating symptomatic side effects. This approach can be particularly beneficial for patients dealing with chronic conditions, including certain eye problems.
Syntonics, or optometric phototherapy, is a form of light therapy used to treat various visual and health conditions. Syntonics involves using specific wavelengths of light to balance the autonomic nervous system, which can improve visual function, reduce eye strain, and even enhance mood. Dr. Todd Wylie frequently incorporates syntonics into treatment plans to support patients with a range of visual and health issues.
Sarah’s Journey: A Holistic Approach to Eye Health
Our patient, a 45-year-old woman named Sarah, came to Advanced Eyecare & Therapies with complaints of chronic eye strain, headaches, and general fatigue. Sarah had been experiencing these symptoms for many months, and despite wearing prescription glasses and taking over-the-counter medications, she saw little improvement. During her initial consultation with Dr. Todd Wylie, it became clear that Sarah’s symptoms had worsened, not only affecting her vision but her daily life too.
Recognizing that a more comprehensive approach was needed, Dr. Todd Wylie suggested co-managing Sarah’s care with a local naturopath. This naturopathic doctor specialized in using natural therapies to support eye health and overall wellness. Sarah agreed to this collaborative approach, hoping it might provide the relief she had been seeking.
Integrating Naturopathy into the Treatment Plan
The naturopath conducted a thorough assessment of Sarah’s health, focusing on her diet, lifestyle, and stress levels. This assessment revealed that Sarah’s diet was lacking in key nutrients essential for eye health, such as omega-3 fatty acids and antioxidants. The naturopath recommended dietary changes, including increasing her intake of leafy greens, fish, and nuts, alongside nutritional supplements specifically targeted at supporting eye health.
Additionally, the naturopath suggested herbal remedies known for their anti-inflammatory properties to help reduce eye strain and headaches. This natural approach complemented the vision care Sarah was receiving at Advanced Eyecare & Therapies.

The Role of Syntonics in Sarah’s Recovery
To further support Sarah’s recovery, Dr. Todd Wylie incorporated syntonics therapy into her treatment plan. By using specific wavelengths of light, syntonics aims to balance the autonomic nervous system, which can improve eye coordination and focus, reduce stress, and alleviate headaches.
Sarah began a series of syntonics sessions, during which she was exposed to different colors of light in a controlled environment. These sessions were designed to stimulate her visual system and promote healing. Over time, Sarah noticed a significant reduction in her eye strain and headaches, and her overall energy levels improved. After several months of co-managed care, Sarah experienced remarkable improvements. Her eye strain and headaches were significantly reduced, and she felt more energetic and focused.
