I did not have the type of results you mention though. How wonderful it must be for those people it helps!
Thanks,

Colored sheets over paper will have very minimal results to actually getting prescription lenses put in sunglasses that you would wear all the time. it's not an immediate change, it allows your brain to calm but it takes a couple weeks for it to fully rest and not be over exerted.
Irlen Specialists find the exact color that fits your specific needs. Some colors work for some people, some don't. The testing process will specify the color need that you have.
Vestibular Specialists most likely don't use the process that finds this and also probably don't use prescription lenses. Helen Irlen developed the method, so you have to be trained through her Institution to be able to get the correct lenses.
Just putting different colored paper over white paper would have minimal results, but if it did offer some relief it would be wise to look further into the lenses that would allow for you to not have to deal with any lighting no matter the external circumstance.
