[ PubMed] [ CrossRef] [ Google Scholar] Coloured filters, either worn as spectacles or used as overlays, have been successfully employed in the treatment of dyslexia for many years but there is no agreement about how they work. As we have seen, bright blue light increases the activation of the parts of the brain involved in directing attention, such as the posterior parietal cortex. Abnormal function in these attention-modulating parts of the brain has been implicated in the pathogenesis of dyslexia. It is therefore likely that blue light, selected optimally to recruit melanopsin RGCs, will have the greatest effect on improving alertness and concentration and may therefore be the best for remediating the impaired attentional responses seen in dyslexia. Dyslexia can make study at any age more of a challenge, causing frustrations on a daily basis. Many people with dyslexia may also suffer from Visual Stress, in which use of colour, especially when reading, can alleviate symptoms. Our collection of Dyslexia stationery can make study and work more enjoyable and comfortable. Our dyslexia aids include a variety of writing and reading tools that are specifically designed for children and adults who sometimes find learning more challenging.
Dyslexia is a neurological condition affecting between 7-10% of the population. It is a learning disability which has an impact on a person’s ability to learn how to read and write (despite adequate intelligence and educational opportunities).
Myth versus evidence
The main aim of DRT research into visual and auditory weaknesses in poor readers is to develop treatments that will help them, and to prove by properly controlled trials that they work. We have shown that simple treatments such as viewing text through blue or yellow coloured filters, musical training or eating oily fish, really can help children to learn to read.
Research has demonstrated that people with dyslexia often have difficulty processing and representing the specific sounds of language. As a result, someone with dyslexia will experience difficulties in associating printed letters with relevant speech sounds, thus causing reading difficulties. Woerz M, Maples WC.

[ PubMed] [ CrossRef] [ Google Scholar]That being said, here are a few popular brands and technologies that are commonly associated with dyslexia glasses and lenses: Visual dyslexia needs to be objectively observed. Most sufferers are not aware that their experience of reading differs from that of other people. Fortunately, behaviour associated with visual stress can be quite easy to spot. The children tend to lose their self-confidence. Because literacy is so important in the modern world, they often face a life of failure and depression. Or their anger and frustration with the world may lead them into aggression and crime. Yet if they survive their schooling, many dyslexics can become remarkably successful.
Our 10 scientifically selected colours; can be combined to make 30 tints equally around the colour spectrum Since many of the symptoms of Irlen Syndrome and Dyslexia can be similar, how do you know which problem you really have? Let’s define our terms. One limitation of this study is that the effects of the Modeling intervention cannot be experimentally validated. As a result, it is difficult to attribute gains in CWPM to the Modeling intervention alone. Although Modeling as an intervention has been experimentally validated elsewhere (e.g., Knapp and Winsor 1998; McCurdy et al. 1990; Skinner et al. 1997), when attempting to compare the effects of one intervention to another, the comparison needs to be conducted in such a manner that effects can be directly linked to one intervention or the other. However, the effects of the colored overlay may be experimentally compared to no colored overlay. Visual Stress can exist on its own or alongside other dyslexia-related difficulties and other SpLDs. This set of difficulties is sometimes called "visual dyslexia," but it is not actually dyslexia. Despite the research suggesting colored overlays is not an effective treatment for dyslexia, colored overlays continue to be used as an intervention to improve reading skills of individuals with dyslexia. The authors of this study sought to add to the literature regarding the effect of colored overlays on reading fluency for individuals with dyslexia, as well as extend the literature by investigating the effectiveness across age levels, ranging from 7 to 32 years old. When colored overlays were ineffective, the authors then investigated the effects of research-based reading interventions on oral reading fluency for the same individuals. The results of this study indicate that colored overlays either had no effect on words read correctly per minute (as was the case for Emily and Lindsay) or resulted in a decrease in words read correctly per minute (as was the case for Lisa). These results support the previous research demonstrating colored overlays have little effect on reading fluency (e.g., Ritchie et al. 2011). Further, whereas previous research has suggested that colored overlays have greater effect on children with dyslexia than adults (Singleton and Trotter 2005; Singleton and Henderson 2007), this study suggests that colored overlays may have a deleterious effect on adults. Although colored overlays did not improve reading fluency for the children in this study, the adult’s performance actually worsened with the colored overlay intervention.For Emily and Lindsay, reading passages were used from the progress monitoring probes of the Dynamic Indicators of Basic Early Literacy Skills (DIBELS), which is a standardized measure and research-based tool designed to assess essential skill areas of early literacy including accurate and fluent reading (Good and Kaminski 2002) and includes leveled reading passages across kindergarten through 6th grades. Emily read from 1st grade progress monitoring probes and Lindsay read from 5th grade progress monitoring probes based on Fuchs and Fuchs ( 2011) recommendation for using passages written at the student’s current grade level. For Lisa, level 8.0 passages were selected from Marshal Adult Education™ which provides leveled passages appropriate for adult learners. To ensure that the level of reading was appropriate for each learner, the experimenters followed Fuchs and Fuchs recommendation on how to identify the level of material for monitoring progress for Passage Reading Fluency. Fuchs and Fuchs recommend, “If the student reads more than 50 correct words in 1minute, move to the highest level of text where he/she reads between 10 and 50 words correct in 1minute” (p. 11).

One side of the overlay has a matt coating. Some matt coatings can reduce transparency, but coloured overlays from Crossbow Education have been subjected to stringent testing to ensure that maximum print clarity is retained while reflected light from the overlay surface has been significantly reduced. Nevertheless, some people prefer using the gloss side of the overlay.Singleton C, Trotter S. Visual stress in adults with and without dyslexia.
