We work remotely with our clients around the world. We depend upon their local practitioners to do the hands on monitoring of the healing process. If you are not thrilled with your current eye doctor, we strongly recommend finding a gem in one of these organizations.
We'll also list some top recommendations at the bottom of the page for the major metropolitan areas in the States...
Several specialized post-graduate educational associations actively train Doctors of Optometry.
As in every profession, there are a few exceptional people who are the ones you want to seek out...
I chose to train in Optometry because of the field of Vision Therapy (VT) which works with natural methods to rehabilitate and enhance visual, cognitive, and motor functions of the eye, brain, and body.
I personally benefited from VT during the summer after 2nd grade, when I was a C student. Ever since then, I was a straight A student with an IQ that measured over 186...
My first job in High School was working as a Vision Therapist in my father's office...
He was a fellow in COVD and the Academy, as well as the President of OEP, after the passing of its founder, A.M. Skeffington.
My interests in vision enhancement and rehabilitation got channeled into prevention and reversal of blinding eye diseases when I was diagnosed with Glaucoma at age 25, when I was serving as President of the international student eye doctors' association (AOSA).
I learned that if I followed the standard one-size-fits-all protocols of the medical/surgical standard of care, I would expect to be blind in my 40s.
That led me to all of the discoveries that now make up my Clinical Theory™ and Clinical Praxis™ as the foundation for Accelerated Self Healing™ and the reversal of one year of aging and degeneration in one month of the full program.
Here are the relevant organizations, and the links to their practitioner finder pages:
COVD (College of Optometrists in Vision Development)
https://locate.covd.org/
Dr. Glen and his father pioneered vision therapy many years before the formation of COVD. His father was a Fellow in COVD, as Dr. Glen expected to be before his career path was altered by a blinding eye disease.
aka Neuro-Optometry
NORA (Neuro-Optometric Rehabilitation Association)
https://nora.memberclicks.net/find-a-provider#/
Dr. Glen and his father pioneered head trauma rehabilitation many years before the formation of NORA. Dr. Glen has now developed his "Clear the Way" Functional Formulation® to resorb scar tissue in the eye, brain, and body to facilitate functional restoration.
aka Functional Optometry
OEP (Optometric Extension Program)
https://www.oep.org/find-optometrist (may not be working at this time)
Dr. Glen did an internship with Dr. Getz, and followed Dr. Harris as the SUNY Trustee in AOSA. His father was a President of OEPF.
CSO (College of Syntonic Optometry)
https://csovision.org/find-a-practitioner/
Dr. Glen is a Fellow and past officer of CSO... He has been as speaker at many conferences, and his writings have been published in the Journal. He introduced Dr. Fox to Syntonics, as well as the founder of Syntonics in Australia...
OWNS (Ocular Wellness and Nutrition Society)
https://ocularnutritionsociety.org/find-a-practitioner/
Dr. Glen is a member of OWNS and has presented to their Board members. Dr. Glen began researching and writing in Nutritional Optometry in 1982, long before the foundation of OWNS.
AAO (American Academy of Optometry)
https://aaopt.org/fellow-and-diplomate-directory/
Dr. Glen has attended the Academy, and his father was a fellow, as Dr. Glen would have been, given his academic background and interests, had it not been for his personal challenge with a blinding eye disease at the outset of his career...
Here is a prime example of a practicing Doctor of Optometry who has trained with Dr. Glen Swartwout and implements his methods in his practice:

Dr. Todd Wylie, O.D., F.C.O.V.D.
Dr. Todd Wylie is a leading eye doctor in Washington State. He is board certified in Vision Development and Visual Therapy. He is a charter member of the Neuro-Optometric Rehabilitation Association, and a Fellow in the College of Optometrists in Vision Development. In the field of nutrition and natural healing, he has trained in the Reams Theory of Biological Ionization as well as Dr. Glen Swartwout's Clinical Theory. Dr. Wylie is so well loved and respected that half of his patients are referred from all over Washington State, Idaho and Montana.
