Irlen Method
The Irlen Method was created by Helen Irlen, the researcher who discovered Irlen Syndrome and developed and perfected the evaluation and precision-tinting method.
It consists of a careful and holistic assessment of all the symptoms. The assessment involves finding the right lens colour combination which filters out the type of light upsetting your visual cortex. By doing this, the brain remains calm and all the symptoms disappear. These special lenses, called Irlen Filters, allow wearers to see the world clear, without being affected by the colour of the lens.
The process is carried out by a certified Irlen Diagnostician who has undergone extensive training with the Irlen Institute. Find out more about the Irlen Method.
There are numerous companies and providers who offer different assessment methods and coloured lenses of various quality and specifications. It is important to carry out some research beforehand to find out the right pathway for your needs.
You should also remember that most coloured lens types will fade with time and may require changing on a regular basis.
