THE CORRELATION BETWEEN VISUAL PERCEPTION AND READING DIFFICULTIES OR DYSLEXIA.
For years there has been an argument put forth that reading difficulties or dyslexia have no direct link to vision or visual perception.
However there has been research done back in 2017 in Turkey which shows a direct connection between difficulties in visual perception and difficulties in reading.https://files.eric.ed.gov/fulltext/EJ1147376.pdf
The International Dyslexia Association itself has also been looking into these same connections as far back as 2016, and again found a link between children adults with poor visuospatial awareness and dyslexia.
https://dyslexiaida.org/what-is-the-role-of-the-visual-system-in-reading-and-dyslexia/
As they agree and believe more work needs to be done to determine how to treat these deficits to improve visuospatial awareness and therefore improve reading, there is a treatment already available.
Irlen Spectral Filters worn as glasses calm the visual cortex, improve visual perception and therefore improve reading in those with reading difficulties and some diagnosed as being dyslexic.

ARE YOUR EYES ALWAYS CLOSED IN PHOTOS?
It may be that you have extreme light sensitivity caused by a visual processing difficulty known as Irlen Syndrome.
It is a difficulty in the brains ability to process specific wavelengths of light in the visible spectrum, is hereditary and affects 15-20% of the general population.
Symptoms are relieved by wearing specifically tinted lenses as glasses, individualised to each person's specific set of symptoms.
There are clinics worldwide
