At EyeCare Associates, advancing patient care goes beyond the exam room. Dr. Randy Schulman, OD, FOVDR, FCSO, continues to play an active role in professional education, sharing her clinical expertise with fellow optometrists and vision therapists through CSO Vision.
Earlier this month, Dr. Schulman served as an instructor for Syntonic Phototherapy 101, a two-day educational course held in Southport, Connecticut. The course brought together eye care professionals seeking to strengthen their understanding of optometric syntonic phototherapy and its role in comprehensive vision care.
Supporting the Growth of Syntonic Phototherapy
Syntonic phototherapy is an optometric treatment approach focused on using specific wavelengths of light to support visual function and neurological balance. Through structured education and guided clinical application, Dr. Schulman helps clinicians better understand when and how syntonics can be incorporated into patient care.
The Southport course emphasized both foundational knowledge and real-world application, allowing participants to gain practical insight they could immediately use in their practices.
Topics covered included:
-
The history and core principles of Optometric Syntonic Phototherapy
-
Pupil assessment and clinical interpretation
-
Convergence near point evaluation
-
Functional visual field assessment
-
Case syndromes and treatment considerations
-
Hands-on practicum and clinical discussion
