Many people who suffer from Dyslexia, Migraine and Photosensitive Epilepsy are affected by striped patterns, including lines of text, and suffer from visual stress.

Those who suffer from visual stress are restless; frequently look away from the page; skip words and lines; lose their place and use a finger as a guide; rub their eyes frequently; blink excessively or flutter their eyelids; show a reluctance to read and write.

Research has shown that a coloured lens, specific to each individual, can relieve the symptoms of perceptual distortion, eye-strain and headaches, for dyslexia sufferers. The lenses may also significantly reduce episodes of migraine and photosensitive epilepsy in certain cases. This is achieved by means of a coloured overlay sheet and special precision tinted lenses prescribed after an assessment on an instrument called a ‘colorimeter’.
