A recent study indicates a significant overlap between Irlen Syndrome and Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). In one study, approximately 50% of participants diagnosed with both Irlen Syndrome and ADHD no longer met the diagnostic criteria for an attention deficit disorder after beginning to use Irlen Spectral Filters. Addressing the underlying visual processing difficulties associated with Irlen Syndrome effectively resolved the attention-related symptoms previously attributed to ADHD, suggesting a potential pattern of misdiagnosis in cases where visual processing deficits are present (BarNir, Shaked, Elad, & Tosta, 2023).

Additionally, a separate study found that 64% of individuals diagnosed with ADHD reported visual sensory sensitivities, including discomfort with lighting, reading difficulties, atypical visual perceptions, and challenges processing visually complex environments (Wada, Hayashi, Seino, Ishii, Nawa, & Nishimaki, 2023). These findings underscore the importance of assessing visual processing factors when evaluating attentional and sensory regulation difficulties.

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.
