Discover how colour may alleviate visual discomfort and visual stress

Visual stress is a term used to describe visual discomfort and perceptual distortions in the printed text, suffered by many people who struggle to read. It is estimated that up to 20% of dyslexic people experience visual stress and also the general population in varying degrees.

Colour has been known to make improvements to reading speed and accuracy. Colour overlays or tinted glasses or contact lenses may help enable longer periods of reading free of discomfort.

The following symptoms indicate you may be suffering from visual stress:

  • Tiring easily when reading.
  • Letters changing shape or size.
  • Halos of colour surrounding letters.
  • Red, sore, watery eyes.
  • Blurring of print.
  • Patterns on print
