🌿 Did you know? Irlen Syndrome can co-exist with other conditions.

Many people with Autism, ADHD, or developmental delays also experience Irlen Syndrome, a light sensitivity and visual processing difficulty.

When Irlen is present, it can intensify symptoms like:
✨ Sensory overload
📖 Difficulty focusing or reading
😵‍💫 Increased fatigue, headaches, or anxiety
🧠 Trouble processing visual information

Addressing Irlen Syndrome with coloured overlays or precision-tinted lenses can reduce these added challenges, making everyday tasks more comfortable and learning more accessible.

🔹 Early screening matters — especially for those already managing other conditions.

WOULD YOU LIKE TO BE THIS MUM? This is a testimonial from the parent of one of the many students who have Irlen Syndrome and struggle at school for no apparent reason. ." I couldn't believe the difference in reading fluency in my daughter of 13. Afterwards she said to me, Mum, even the writing on the walls didn't have bubbles on it." 😊 This student thought that she had dyslexia, but she had Irlen Syndrome which resulted in her displaying dyslexia symptoms. "Bubbles" around words and letters is just one of the many distortions experienced by people with Irlen Syndrome. It is a HIDDEN difficulty with no obvious causes like poor eyesight or intelligence. This young girl's life changed dramatically after finding out that she could actually read and understand.

This was the result of a one-hour appointment that identified the problem and then solved it.

✨ Light hurting your head after a brain injury? You’re not imagining it. ✨

After a concussion or traumatic brain injury (TBI), a lot of people are left dealing with frustrating symptoms that just don’t seem to go away…

😣 Bright lights suddenly feel unbearable
😵‍💫 Headaches or migraines come out of nowhere
🌫️ Concentration feels harder — like your brain’s stuck in fog

This happens because your brain can become extra sensitive to light after an injury. Everyday things like screens, overhead lighting or even sunlight can trigger symptoms.

👓 Here’s where Irlen lenses can help.
They’re not just coloured glasses — they’re custom tinted to calm the way your brain processes light.

Many people notice:
✅ Less light sensitivity
✅ Fewer migraines
✅ Sharper focus and clearer thinking
✅ More energy and less overwhelm

For some, the difference is noticeable as soon as they put them on.

You don’t have to just “push through” the pain or fog. There are ways to make daily life more comfortable again.

💬 If this sounds familiar, Irlen lenses might be worth looking into.

This success story is so 🙌🏼 so we had to repost it. It’s from one of our clinicians . A complete list of our diagnosticians is on our website at www.irlen.com

‘Before she found me and the Irlen Method, this sweet girl was placed in an outpatient psychiatric program because of what have turned out to be visual processing issues. The floor would move and wave, words would float off the page, driving made her hysterical, and her brain was so over aroused, life was quickly becoming unmanageable. She had been given all kinds of diagnoses to attempt to explain the visual distortions she was having.
In just a couple of hours this morning, we were able to find her precision tinted lens. We were all in tears by the time we finished because the world stopped spinning. Her relief was palatable as she realized that she wasn’t saddled with a list of disorders.’

Irlen Syndrome is not just about moving print!
Some people's words never feel like they move, or look blurry!
For some people white paper just feels very bright, or glows or looks shimmery.
They might just get tired when they read.
They might be distracted by the white background when they read.
Or reading might give them a headache.
If this sounds like you, then a screening for Irlen Syndrome just might hold the key to a more comfortable reading experience.

Have you got a little one struggling with reading and looking confused like this little fellow? 🥺Today, we were able to change a little girl's unhappy face to a big smiling face after her assessment. She told us, she couldn't read. 😔We found that when she looked at words on the page they faded away so she couldn't see them. We found a coloured overlay that stopped the words fading and then she read a chapter from an age-appropriate text 😊.

📞 CALL us on 02 49556904 9am to 4pm Monday to Thursday for an obligation-free discussion to see whether we might be able to help your child be ready for the new school year.
