## **Treatment Plan for the Basic Santé Vision Program**

The Basic Santé Vision program is a focused, two-week plan. It happens every weekday for a total of 10 days, since there are no sessions on Saturdays or Sundays. Depending on how severe your condition is and whether you have any other health problems, this intensive two-week program can be repeated two or three times a year.

Each day, there are two acupuncture sessions. Between these sessions, we provide a neck [massage](https://cliniquetm.ca/massage-therapy-longueuil/)and a separate [photobiomodulation](https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4768515/)procedure (LLLT using red and infrared light) for the occipital area.

Additionally, the acupuncturist offers the client eye exercises and nutritional recommendations according to Oriental medicine.

## **What happens after the Basic Santé Vision Program?**

After this treatment, the Santé Vision maintenance program follows. This treatment helps maintain the results achieved through the intensive basic program. In other words, once the intensive program is completed, the next eye treatment takes place first once a week, then transitions to once a month.
