Proven Relief from Visual Processing Difficulties

In order for us to see, light has to shine into the eyes and the brain has to use that light to process the visual information into images that it can comprehend. This is called Visual Processing and involves a series of complex pathways between the eyes and the visual cortex.  For people with Irlen Syndrome this processing is dysfunctional, which results in perceived visual distortions, headaches, and glare sensitivity.

Each individual with symptoms is sensitive to particular colours (wavelengths of light, i.e. the rainbow) in the spectrum, so the selection of the correctly tinted spectral filters is essential to provide relief. These filters are worn as glasses and remove the offending wavelengths of light, calming the brain and visual cortex. This then allows people who can read, to read more efficiently and for those learning to read, to see the print without visual distortions. Also, they will reduce headaches, migraines, eyestrain and environmental distortions.
