Visual Dyselxia is also known as Mears-Irlen Syndrome and the Optometric term Visual Stress. The common symptoms of this condition include pattern glare, the movement of words/print, 'rivers running through sentences', shimmering of text & colour fringing. This can result in the feeling of blurred vision and focusing issues, resulting in concentration problems, headaches, eyestrain and visual fatigue.
Coloured overlays and personalised precision-tinted lenses together with a suitably adjusted and optimised spectacle lens prescription has been found to help relieve some of the visual symptoms that can be associated with Visual Stress caused by some types of Dyslexia and other Learning Difficulties. This has been confirmed by the evidence-based research previously carried out on behalf of the Medical Council. At Visual Answers Optometrists in Loughborough, we specialise in the treatment of Visual Stress using a Cerium Colorimeter.
Our treatment approach is based around the code of conduct of the Society of Coloured Lens Prescribers and is designed to help to reduce symptoms of pattern glare in children, students and adults. We can also use aspects of Behavioral Optometry to further attempt to help optimise the visual processing system. We have been involved in this field for over 25 years.
