Irlen syndrome

Irlen Syndrome is a condition where some people see words, letters, or numbers moving around on a page when they try to read. Imagine looking at a page and seeing the letters dance around or even disappear. This can make reading very difficult and frustrating.

The good news is that there are certain colored filters, like glasses or overlays, that can help people with Irlen Syndrome read more easily. These filters work by changing the way light enters the eyes and the brain, which can reduce the distorted or moving images on the page.

It's important to note that Irlen Syndrome is not a problem with a person's eyesight itself, but rather the way the brain processes visual information. So, wearing glasses or contacts won't fix the problem, but using these colored filters can make a big difference.
