A recent study indicates a significant overlap between Irlen Syndrome and Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). In one study, approximately 50% of participants diagnosed with both Irlen Syndrome and ADHD no longer met the diagnostic criteria for an attention deficit disorder after beginning to use Irlen Spectral Filters. Addressing the underlying visual processing difficulties associated with Irlen Syndrome effectively resolved the attention-related symptoms previously attributed to ADHD, suggesting a potential pattern of misdiagnosis in cases where visual processing deficits are present (BarNir, Shaked, Elad, & Tosta, 2023).

Additionally, a separate study found that 64% of individuals diagnosed with ADHD reported visual sensory sensitivities, including discomfort with lighting, reading difficulties, atypical visual perceptions, and challenges processing visually complex environments (Wada, Hayashi, Seino, Ishii, Nawa, & Nishimaki, 2023). These findings underscore the importance of assessing visual processing factors when evaluating attentional and sensory regulation difficulties.

SOME people need glasses to see clearly.

OTHERS need Irlen filters to think, feel, and function clearly.

Why??

When someone has Irlen Syndrome it means their brain is overstimulated by light and color, it’s not just a “bad mood” or “being sensitive.”

🧠 It can shut down focus
😣 Trigger headaches or migraines
😤 Amp up irritability
😵‍💫 Leave you feeling totally drained

Take a self-test to see if Irlen custom-colored filters could be the missing puzzle piece.

🧠 Did you know that color interpretation doesn’t happen in your eyes? It actually happens in your brain. 🤯

Your eyes collect the light, but it’s your brain that decides what you’re actually seeing.

For those with brain injuries, or visual processing issues, light triggered migraines, ADHD etc…
this system can get overwhelmed — leading to light sensitivity, reading problems, headaches, and more.

👓 That’s why Irlen custom -color filters aren’t just glasses — they’re brain support tools!!!!
