 What is Irlen Syndrome?

Irlen Syndrome is not an optical problem rather a problem with the brain’s ability to process visual information. When a person has Irlen Syndrome, their brain becomes overactive when exposed to certain wavelengths of light. This overactivity causes symptoms beyond the visual distortions which can include: print or environment looks different, slow or inefficient reading, poor comprehension, eye strain, fatigue, headaches and more.

 Success Stories

Irlen Center CT Reviews
If I had to describe the effect of Irlen on my life in one word I would say empowerment. I can focus on work tasks while animated conversation is pursued in the background without losing my place. I can read for hours instead of half hour stints at a time. Irlen has been a game changer in my life! Thank you for the fantastic job you do at Irlen.
