How do you know it’s time for an Irlen filter re-check? ⤵️
• Recurrence or escalation of visual stress symptoms (e.g. headaches, asthenopia, reading fatigue)
• Reduced efficacy or intolerance of current filters
• Changes in visual acuity or optical prescription.
• Developmental or maturational changes in visual processing
• Hormonal changes (including puberty, pregnancy, menopause)
• Medical or neurological changes (e.g. illness, migraine disorder, concussion, systemic conditions)
• Lifestyle or functional changes (increased screen exposure, altered occupational or academic demands)
• Environmental changes affecting visual load or lighting conditions
• Physical degradation or ageing of filters (fading, damage, discoloration)
• Variable or inconsistent symptom control
• Routine review due to the potential for changes in visual processing over time

Irlen lenses aren’t meant to change the color of the world. They’re designed to filter out specific wavelengths of light that can overstimulate or confuse the visual system.
Your eyes take in light, but it’s your brain that decides what you’re seeing. When certain wavelengths cause visual stress, the brain has a harder time making sense of the image. That’s when things like glare, words moving on the page, blurriness, or washed-out colors can show up.
Irlen lenses reduce those problem wavelengths, which makes it easier for the brain to do its job. And here’s the interesting part-once that stress is gone, the brain naturally recalibrates. Objects still look like the colors they’re supposed to be.
So even though Irlen lenses are custom-colored, you don’t see a “purple world” or a
“yellow world.” WHY?….because the brain adapts, color constancy kicks in, and the lenses are removing visual noise, not changing reality.

It’s why so so many of our clients say:
“Everything looks normal-just clearer, calmer, and more stable.”

Not all colors are created equal.
This is a simple statement, but very true when it comes to what makes Irlen Spectral Filters and Colored Overlays different from other available colored glasses and overlays. Irlen® is the original creator of color treatments for perceptual processing difficulties, and the Irlen Method is back by over 30 years of scientific research.

It’s all about the method.
There are other places to obtain colored lenses or overlays, but the reason Irlen works as well as it does isn’t because of the color, it’s because of the method used to determine what color you need. At Irlen, one thing we know is that people aren’t very good at picking their own color, they almost always choose wrong. With over 100,000 possible custom colors, the key to our method is individualized, precision tinting, and our in-depth diagnostic protocol ensures that you end up with the specific color your brain needs. Just because someone says they can help Irlen Syndrome, doesn’t mean they use the Irlen Method or offer Irlen Spectral Filters. Make sure you know what method of color selection is taking place.

Many individuals experience ongoing difficulties with reading, light sensitivity, or depth perception without understanding the underlying cause. One potential factor is Irlen Syndrome, a visual processing condition that can impact learning, concentration, and overall visual comfort.

Comprehensive Irlen assessment can identify these challenges and guide the use of customized Irlen filters, which may help reduce glare, headaches, and visual fatigue. This can significantly improve comfort during reading and screen use.

To learn more, take the brief self-assessment at Irlen.com, or contact us by commenting “INFO” for additional information.

For many with dyslexia, the struggle isn’t intelligence 🤯 it’s visual stress. What IS visual stress?! Visual stress is when the brain has difficulty processing visual information, especially black text on white backgrounds. It can cause letters to blur, move, or cause eye strain and headaches when reading.

It’s not dyslexia, but it often occurs alongside it. Dyslexia affects language processing, while visual stress affects how text is seen together, they can make reading MUCH harder.

Irlen lenses helps by using individualized colored overlays or lenses to reduce visual stress, making text feel clearer and more comfortable to read.
