What is syntonic optometry?

Syntonic optometry is an alternative medicine practice involving the use of colored lenses and filters to treat a wide range of conditions, including vision problems, headaches, and fatigue. It is based on the idea that certain colors of light can stimulate or inhibit the activity of different parts of the brain and body.

Syntonic optometry was developed in the early 20th century by Jacob Liberman, a Russian-born optometrist who claimed that he could cure a variety of diseases by using colored lenses. Liberman's theories were based on the work of earlier scientists who had studied the effects of light on the human body.

How Does Syntonic Optometry Work?

Syntonic optometrists believe that the colors of light can affect the body in several ways:

- By stimulating or inhibiting the activity of the brain and nervous system. Certain colors, such as red and blue, are thought to stimulate the brain, while others, such as green and violet, are thought to have a calming effect.

- By affecting the production of hormones. Some colors, such as yellow and orange, are thought to increase the production of certain hormones, such as serotonin, which can improve mood and energy levels.

- By promoting the healing of damaged tissue. Some colors, such as red and infrared light, are thought to promote the healing of damaged tissue and reduce inflammation.
