| Q: |
Would visual stress have been considered at my normal eye examinations? |
| A: |
This is a specialist area and is not part of most routine eye examinations.
We are one of only a small number of practices in the UK using eye training exercises and coloured filter technology. |
| Q: |
Does visual stress only affect children? |
| A: |
No, visual stress can affect people of all ages and often runs in families. Not all sufferers are poor readers,
although visual distortions normally make reading harder than it could be if the visual stress were treated. |
| Q: |
Is visual stress the same as dyslexia? |
| A: |
No. But, many people with dyslexia have difficulties with eye co-ordination or visual processing.
Visual stress is particularly common in dyslexia and by treating visual problems; remaining difficulties can become much
easier to manage. |
| Q: |
Does this approach help in other conditions too? |
| A: |
Yes, particularly in dyspraxia, MS, ME, autism, photosensitive epilepsy and ADHD. |
