Irlen Syndrome is a specific type of perceptual problem.

Symptoms

Irlen Syndrome has a wide range of symptoms which may vary from person to person. These symptoms may be first noticed in childhood but affect people throughout their lives. These symptoms are effectively dealt with by the use of Irlen Spectral Filters, worn as glasses or contact lenses, following a thorough assessment and colour evaluation by a trained Irlen Diagnostician.

Irlen Syndrome can often go undiagnosed because:

  • it is not an obvious problem
  • it is not identified by standard visual and medical examinations or by educational and psychological assessments
  • sufferers think that the perceptual distortions that they experience are “normal”. They assume that everyone else perceives the page and the environment as they do and also experience the same physical discomfort.
