| 1356818 | 2013-10-22 05:58:00 | Ok ive got some questions . . . . . . . . . i cant remember who the guru is on here that has all the nouse on this subject . but ill ask away here any way . i have a dyslexic teenager who has just been to have eye tests done who is finally at the glasses stage, we have been getting her eyes checked since 2006 :( and now she needs them for reading and long distance, so she has two types of vision in one pair of glasses . this adds to the cost yes . but the other side of it being dyslexic it causes other problems, and they have recomended we have her eyes tested for colour helpfulness i guess you would call it so the words stop jumping off the page and become clear . . . . . . . . so two options get a all one pair of glasses with this tint . . . . . . . . . . . and a sutible frame . or get a pair of clear glasses that she will wear but always have to remember to take the tinted plastic with her to read anything, she will need to have glasses all a large majority of time at school, for tv, and for the large amount of txting she does . . . . so basically she has focusing problems . and dyslexia and meares-irlen sysndrome for the colour tint . . . . does any body out there wear these tinted glasses ( her colour is most likely to be a blue tint) or a family member wear them? the cos it getting up there for the tint and glasses, but im not sure she would remember to take her reader plastic everywhere . . . . . . . . but she would most likely wear the glasses to stop the pain and strain she currently has . . . . i think i covered it all :p help ? |

| 1356821 | 2013-10-22 07:34:00 | Hi Beetle, What is the age of this person, and if possible, can you please post a copy of the lens prescription. The science (or the lack of...) behind Irlen lenses is quite wishy-washy. There are people who swear by the benefits. There are also people who get real benefits from placebos. I'm not saying it's all BS, I'm just expressing my own personal reservations, and that's tinged with a personal preference for hard, clear scientific facts and logic with which to understand the effect, and Irlen falls well short of solid science or logic. The colour of Irlen lenses at times can be poor from a cosmetic / fashion perspective, so that might rule out using the tint for an all-purposes pair of specs. Tell me more, and I might be able to tell you more. PM me again if I don't respond, as I'm fairly rarely about here these days. |
