SOME people need glasses to see clearly.

OTHERS need Irlen filters to think, feel, and function clearly.

Why??

When someone has Irlen Syndrome it means their brain is overstimulated by light and color, it’s not just a “bad mood” or “being sensitive.”

🧠 It can shut down focus
😣 Trigger headaches or migraines
😤 Amp up irritability
😵‍💫 Leave you feeling totally drained

Take a self-test to see if Irlen custom-colored filters could be the missing puzzle piece.

Letters might blur, jump, or fade, making every sentence a struggle….you may have Irlen Syndrome-is a perceptual processing disorder that affects how the brain interprets visual information. It can cause difficulties with reading, depth perperception, light sensitivity, and other visual challenges.
