Have you previously been given coloured lenses by an optometrist and they only worked a little bit or for a little while?
Did you choose the colour by looking through an overlay sheet or into a machine which changed the colour of light?

Do you know not all coloured lenses are designed or prescribed equal?

Irlen lenses are individualised and specific to the wearere based on a comprehensive assessment.

🌈 Did you know Irlen lenses come in a rainbow of colours?

Each person’s brain and eyes respond differently, which is why the perfect colour or combination of colours is unique to them.

A certified Irlen diagnostician carefully tests different tints to find the exact match that can help with:
✨ Headaches & migraines
✨ Light sensitivity
✨ Eye strain & fatigue
✨ Reading difficulties
✨ Depth perception issues

The result? Precision-tinted lenses that filter out the wavelengths of light causing discomfort—available as glasses or contact lenses.

Not all colors are created equal.
This is a simple statement, but very true when it comes to what makes Irlen Spectral Filters and Colored Overlays different from other available colored glasses and overlays. Irlen® is the original creator of color treatments for perceptual processing difficulties, and the Irlen Method is back by over 30 years of scientific research.

It’s all about the method.
There are other places to obtain colored lenses or overlays, but the reason Irlen works as well as it does isn’t because of the color, it’s because of the method used to determine what color you need. At Irlen, one thing we know is that people aren’t very good at picking their own color, they almost always choose wrong. With over 100,000 possible custom colors, the key to our method is individualized, precision tinting, and our in-depth diagnostic protocol ensures that you end up with the specific color your brain needs. Just because someone says they can help Irlen Syndrome, doesn’t mean they use the Irlen Method or offer Irlen Spectral Filters. Make sure you know what method of color selection is taking place.

We often imagine monsters as creatures hiding in dark forests or shadowy corners. It makes us feel safe, believing danger is somewhere far away. But life shows us a harder truth. The real monsters do not hide. They move in plain sight, living among us like anyone else.

These are the people who can hurt the most, even when they seem ordinary or kind. They smile, talk politely, and blend perfectly into everyday life. That is what makes them so dangerous. You may not notice them until the damage is done.

And then THEY realize that reading doesn’t need to feel like fighting an uphill battle with no armor because of the bright white pages or letters moving around. Why? Because THEY got screened for Irlen Syndrome and now it all feels calm and how reading should be. Fun. Enjoyable. Relaxing.

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.
