Irlen Lenses
There has been a lot written about Irlen Lenses, and I think I have read most of it. I couldn't decide what to believe so I took my daughter to be tested and was amazed at her response.
When trying out the blue lenses in the assessment she suddenly looked at me with a confused expression and said "Mum! The words aren't all blurry anymore and the white paper isn't shining back at me!"
So I suppose you can listen to everyones position on Irlen Lenses or you can go and check it out. After the assessment while we were waiting for her glasses they gave us a couple of the blue overlays to use. I tried it out and couldn't believe the difference it made for me. The words on the page were so much easier to read. Weird. Just another thing to tick off the list on "things to look into" on the Dyslexia journey.
