I got advised to have a test for irlens done just after I enrolled at college. I had mine done today.
Apparantely, there's something about tinted lenses - what happens in this, please?

They are apparently an institute based on something called the 'Irlen Method' - a non-invasive system using coloured overlays and filters to improve the brain's ability to process visual information.
There's loads about it and an online test over here -

Apparently the condition it treats is called Irlen Syndrome, formerly Scotopic Sensitivity Syndrome (SSS)
Here's the wikipedia description, which is comprehensive -

Yes. I had a test done today and found grey slightly easier than yellow. I now have to (somehow) find grey lined paper.
Where? I've only found one place. (tintavision) that does it. Ive been given some plain grey, but I can't write on plain paper.
I've been given acetate. Not too sure if I'm getting tinted glasses yet.
emptech are the place to get coloured lined paper from. about 2 quid a shot
