Colour has been used to relieve symptoms of reading difficulty
and visual stress for 20 years now.
The test to find the colour unique to the patients' symptoms is
called 'colourimetry' or 'coloured overlay assessment'. We run this
specialist clinic in a number of our practices, and take referrals
from other practices.
Visual Stress, or Meares Irlen syndrome is a common complaint
where reading speed is reduced through blurring, glare and movement
of the print. Meares Irlen is associated with, but not unique to,
certain conditions- dyslexia, migraine and epilepsy.
The majority of our patients are children diagnosed as dyslexic
or those reporting reading discomfort. It is essential that a full
eye test is done as there are many visual reasons for reading
problems.
