This innovative, breakthrough solution has helped millions of adults and children around the world. With hundreds of certified providers in 46 countries, Irlen is the original creator of colored lens treatment for light-based, visual processing difficulties. The Irlen Method provides a long-term, expertly-developed solution for reading problems, headaches, migraines, light sensitivity, ADD and ADHD, autism, and many other light-based difficulties by directly addressing a core problem: the brain’s inability to process visual information and specific wavelengths of light. If you, or your child, have been suffering, then you deserve to know more about the most widely used, research-based, and effective solution available to you. Irlen Syndrome, also known as visual stress or scotopic sensitivity, elicits wide-ranging symptoms across many different populations, including those with migraines, brain injury, concussion, ADHD, autism, and learning difficulties. Our advanced solutions - Irlen colored overlays and Irlen Spectral Filters (worn as either glasses or contacts) – are straightforward and effective. The Irlen Method addresses the underlying perceptual processing difficulties and light sensitivity that can contribute to reading difficulties, headaches, and attention deficits. Irlen can also play a role in the challenges experienced by many individuals who have been diagnosed with dyslexia, autism, concussion syndrome, and traumatic brain injury. You and your child deserve a solution for ADHD that is non-invasive, a solution for headaches that is immediate, an alternative treatment for autism that addresses sensory overload, and a successful way to combat the light sensitivity and physical symptoms caused by head injury. The Irlen Method is an uncomplicated solution that offers immediate results. WHILE THERE ARE MANY DIFFERENT PROBLEMS, THERE IS ONLY ONE CLEAR ANSWER.
