I HAVE JUST TESTED POSITIVE TO IRLEN.
HOW DO I GET THE GLASSES?
HOW DO I KNOW WHAT COLOUR IS BEST FOR ME?
Once you or your child have been screened for Irlen the recommendation is a further assessment to be fitted for the Irlen Filters that are worn as glasses.
Choosing the correct tint involves a 2 hour assessment where you look through the lenses to determine the tints that provide the best comfort and clarity.
NO ONE JUST COMES IN AND RANDOMLY PICKS A COLOUR!
For older children and adults who can read there is a lot of reading involved in order to ensure the correct depth of colour or even combination of colours.
For younger children and non-readers it is about concentration, focus, fidgeting and recognising letters and words.

WHY ARE RECHECKS IMPORTANT? 🤔

As children grow it is vitally important to check their colour atleast every 2years, as their brains and visual pathways are constantly growing and developing and therefore the tint may need to be altered slightly to take into account these changes. As they get older they also understand better the need to have the tint as accurate as possible, are better at explaining what is happening for them and how the tints are working in order for them and the diagnostician to get the best colour tint possible.
Adults should also have a colour check as lenses can fade which happens quite gradually and can go unnoticed for sometime so they are not getting the full benefit of the lenses. Hormonal and life changes can also be a contributing factor in the need for a re-assessment as the chemicals in our brain change and adapt.

You do NOT grow out of Irlen Syndrome.

✨ Do you see constant “static” or tiny flickering dots across your vision?
This could be Visual Snow Syndrome — a neurological condition where your brain struggles to process what your eyes are seeing.

👓 At Irlen Diagnostic Clinic Newcastle, we see many clients with visual snow who experience relief using Irlen lenses. These special filters can help:

🌿 Reduce flickering/static

💆 Ease light sensitivity and headaches

📖 Make reading and everyday activities more comfortable

✨ Improve focus and reduce visual stress

While Irlen lenses don’t cure visual snow, they can make the world clearer and calmer for many people.
