If you or your child has Irlen syndrome math can be challenging.

The last 7 years I have seen clients respond to the use of color to change how to brain functions in miraculous ways being able to read comfortably with the right color overlay and changing their phone and and screen color, etc. Once they get their spectrum filters worn as glasses, their whole world changes clumsiness, migraines, attention, focus, and even hunger pains because the brain uses so much glucose in trying to focus and concentrate when they can’t process visual information.

Do you come home from work tired and exhausted?
Do you get headaches at work regularly?
Are your eyes often tired, watery or even dry? 😵‍💫

You may have the visual processing difficulty known as Irlen Syndrome. It is nothing to do with eyesight but is how the brain processes the visual information and light that enters the eyes. The brain has to work too hard to overcome the overload and overstimulation of the visual cortex, thus leading to sore eyes, fatigue and persistent headaches. 🤯
Filtering the light that enters the eyes calms the brain and the visual cortex allowing it to function more efficiently and reducing these physical symptoms.

This is why I do what I do as a certified Irlen senior screener for the last 7 years. I have seen those with learning difficulties, autism, brain, injury, ADHD, and people many people without any diagnosis that have always struggled with light sensitivity, migraines, attention, and concentration and or reading

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.

These are just SOME of the areas where our clients have experienced powerful results with the help of their Irlen Spectral Filters.

From reading difficulties, light-triggered migraines to fatigue and attention issues—Irlen Syndrome could be the missing piece that you never knew about…until now.

Please consider getting screened if you’ve had a concussion.

Happy Father's Day to the many dads I've screened, along with their sons and daughters.
Irlen Syndrome is hereditary and tends to run in families, affecting males and females equally. However, an individual can also acquire symptoms of Irlen Syndrome as a result of illness, medical procedures, or traumatic brain injury (or concussion). The photo below is from Irlen.com.

🧠 May is Stroke Awareness Month!

A stroke can happen to anyone, at any time. Recognizing the signs and acting quickly can make all the difference. Learn to think F.A.S.T. — it could save a life.

⏱️ Know the signs of stroke:

F – Face drooping: Is one side of the face numb or drooping? Ask the person to smile.
A – Arm weakness: Is one arm weak or numb? Ask them to raise both arms.
S – Speech difficulty: Is their speech slurred or hard to understand?
T – Time to call emergency services: If you notice any of these symptoms, even if they go away, call for help immediately.

Other symptoms may include:

👁️ Sudden trouble seeing in one or both eyes

😵 Sudden dizziness, loss of balance or coordination

🧠 Sudden severe headache with no known cause

Irlen works to correct visual processing issues through very accurate testing and then over 85 spectrum filters no color color combination is of the same. It is completely individual.

TINTED LENSES: Optometrist tinting versus Irlen tinting. Many optometrists are now providing tinted lenses to people and claiming that they are the same as Irlen lenses, but they are really only relieving glare sensitivity without investigating other Irlen related issues like;
* poor comprehension
* reading rate
* reading accuracy
* fading of text
* movement of words
* concentration on academic tasks
* mixing up mathematic symbols
* rereading for understanding
* inability to focus
All of the above are investigated during an Irlen appointment. That is why it takes a lot longer to select the specific tint at an Irlen Clinic than it does to select tinted lenses from an optometrist who is not trained in the Irlen method. Sometimes a number of different tints are required to remove all of the symptoms experienced. The lenses in the image look very similar and would both reduce glare for an individual, but an Irlen Diagnostician assesses all of the above symptoms before determining what is needed to remove them.

IS YOUR CHILD STRUGGLING AT SCHOOL? Sometimes, there is an obvious reason for this, poor eyesight, poor hearing, attention deficit or chronic illness. BUT, often, there is no obvious reasons. I recently saw a teenager who just could not read very well, for no obvious reason. On assessment, the reason was that this student has Irlen Syndrome/Scotopic Sensitivity, both of which are the result of a Visual Processing Dysfunction. While wearing prescription glasses:
1.words were moving
2. letters changed places within words
3. print disappeared,
4. straight lines were wavy
5. gaps between words became larger and formed tracks in the text.
So, these prescription glasses had no effect on the visual processing of print for this student. BUT no class teachers, optometrists, support teachers, or any other professional ever asked "What do the words look like when you are reading"? That simple question can result in a student revealing some of the symptoms listed above, or even something different. The important message in this post is that "Not all reading problems are the result of a problem with the eyes" because our eyes do not process the information received, it is our BRAIN that does that. Optometrists do not investigate visual processing.. only how the eyes are functioning. www.irlendyslexia.com
