Hi, I'm wondering if anyone here has been assessed for Irlen Syndrome and has experience with the Irlen tinted lenses?

I have quite a problem with visual stress and so I no longer use the computer much at all. I went for an Irlen screening today which cost just under $300 and as I expected, I fell into the severe category.

Before I go and spend a further $500 on the lense assessment (then more $$ for tinting my perscription lenses), I was hoping to find others who may have had some experiene with these lenses. They are supposed to block certain (color) light spectrum(s) that stress the visual cortex. So far, regular sunglasses of various shades are not much help, other than that they make things darker.

Any insight is appreciated! And if I proceed with getting these lenses, I promise to pop back on here and report back to all of you. In the mean
time you can find lots of information online if you search for "irlen syndrome".

Thanks!!!! Take care everyone!
