I have pretty severe Irlen syndrome combined with dyslexia and Im in the middle of my Law degree. Its hard work but you can't let it hold you back xxx
Sinead McCarthy I have irlen Syndrome I am 11 I love my collared lenses I was diagnosed at ten this video help me so much when a friend asks me why I have collared lenses
How are you doing six years later?
I'm autistic with irlen and dyscalculia. As a child, before my diagnoses, I was in a gifted program but struggled a lot. I thought it was because I was lazy. So glad that this is becoming more common to hear about. A friend mentioned it to me the other day and I told her I have irlen syndrome.
How are you doing 7 years later? Do you use tinted glasses?
@@immortalsun It never goes away.
@@luckyj.ferguson6308 Do tinted glasses help, though? That’s what I want to know.
Me too! And I have ADHD as well…
Excellent. I work with Irlen counselors at the University of Tsukuba in Japan - these lenses work. Keep up the great work!!
don't know who you are anyone can make anything up about themselves
you must be making a ton of cash out of see through plastic
@@zebedeerotten533 Are you asking if Irlen Syndrome is fake?
I live with both irlen syndrome and dyslexia, growing up I was called lazy and or stupid because I didn't read at the same level as my classmates. My Pop's had trouble reading and writing, he said it hurt his eyes and got headaches. I currently wear reading glasses with a prism lens so that I don't see the pages like one of Picasso's painting, I'll look into getting colored lenses as well. I've had a number of head injuries, one of those injuries I was unconscious for four days, the foster parent hit me with a maul handle and a few other things. I waited for karma to get her, suffer she did in the end, I didn't even go to her funeral.
Anyway if I get the colored lenses I won't have to carry overlay sheets with me everywhere.
My son came home with one of these screens today. I had never heard of these before but they are saying it will help with his ADHD.
That Hiking Family what the overlay?
@@idomge2463 coloured transparent plastic sheet, similar to what you would use for an overhead projector.
Im so glad i can come on here and watch these videos and read all your comments. My 10 yr old son has struggled for YEARS and we thought dyslexia, which might still be happening, and the schools he was going to just pushed it off and tried holding him back. We've switched schools and we are 6 weeks in and thank goodness for teachers that want to better children. She noticed right away and asked the right questions and he will be tested next week. I'm so happy someone is on his side and not pushing him off to the side like in the past.
cartash86 Why do they have to read with their glasses off
I have recently been diagnosed, I have blue lenses currently. Before getting glasses I’d have blue filter on my phone and the overlays are great for reading but to write you really need glasses
Here I am 30 years old. I have adhd. Diagnosed around age 6 in the 90’s.
I have a sensitivity to the sun. My eyes water a lot just like it does my moms.
I love reading. So does my kiddo. I have astigmatism just like my mom.
Now I’m wondering if I should schedule another appointment.
I have recently been diagnosed with irlen and the changes I have had just with my overlay is amazing :) not only is my reading better and faster but my eye endurance has improved from level 8 to level 20 since last Easter to yesterday :)
i had layovers but now i have the lensise
I have the overlays i have blue
I am 34 with a Master's in fine arts. I was watching Pen15 on HULU this evening and one of the main characters was diagnosed with Irlen syndrome. Since then I have been hungrily researching this. I guess I thought everyone was experiencing. I hope to learn more and seek treatment.
I was working as an instructional aid for a special needs high school student who had a class specifically for helping her with homework. One day, the teacher for that class brought in color overlays. I noticed something out of the corner of my eye, so I asked if I could try the smokey-blue overlay. Holy cow! The words stopped moving!!! It was pretty amazing. She let me have that one, but that was nearly 20 years ago. I've ordered a set of overlays now, for myself and possibly my niece. Hopefully, we're turn her into a reader yet.
I don't know if I have this or not because I can still read fairly well, but the words seem to move as if in a ripple effect and the spacing of words seem to expand and then get smaller..
An issue I have with this video is that it portrays Irlen syndrome as merely seeing blurry/moving letters while reading, and that it affects mainly children. That may turn away people who can't relate to that, but do otherwise show many other symptoms - sensitivity to light, issues with reading except the letters look normal, attention problems, unexplained fatigue especially during activities focused on visual perception, unexplained headaches/migraines, issues with depth perception and motor coordination, etc.
The issue with letters dancing/moving/being blurry is common in those with Irlen syndrome, but it's not a necessary symptom to qualify for a diagnosis. There are better resources on this online. Personally I don't experience any kind of visual distortions, but I was referred to testing due to my extreme sensitivity to light, issues with attention, unexplained migraines, and trouble reading but for the reason that it makes me tired and gives me headaches.
If you experience similar issues with no other explanation for it, or you do have a diagnosis that should explain it (ADHD, autism, learning disorders, etc as explained in the video) but your indicated treatment isn't helping you, it might be worth looking more deeply into this and possibly getting tested by a professional.
lovely help!!
I have irlen syndrome .so Thank you Helen irlen the irlen method have transformed my life for the best.
Jennifer owen Why do they have to read with their glasses off
@@MrRandomDoritosandCola the main reason is to hear their rhythm and speed of speech, it's compared to each set or combinations of filters in order to find the right tint.
i have all, irlens, dyslexia, dyscrafia, dyscalula and adhd... i have to say the coloured lenses helped a ton with head aces but i still have dyslexia issues... i wish i was just irlens rather then everything else :'(
Irlen affects me in an unusual way. As I read, the letters seem to move off the the right (I always likened it to a marching band). If I read faster to catch the letters up, they speed up even more to the point where I am not taking in the meaning of the words anymore. Anyone else have this? Caused me massive problems when studying, until I started doing oral notes instead of written. At school I was beaten by teachers countless times for not doing homework (it was the 70's and beatings were not unusual).
Ive wondered if I have this issue, the tests and visual for it online always seemed so confusing, but I do remember REALLY loving this pair of red and blue glasses i had, and they almost helped me see better in a way i couldn’t identify. I wonder….
I have had this problem since I was a kid, I still deal with this at age 57
I have irlens and my glasses are super dark and people always ask me why I’m wearing sunglasses inside lol. And science my lenses are coloured people always assume I have dyslexia. Anyway my glasses have changed my life and I can read so much better now.
Same here 😎
I’m jealous! I hope they work for me when I get mine.
Only recently learned about Irlen syndrome from Temple Granden, as my case (aspergers) is rather minor (just hits in all the right places to make things hard lol). Though I didn't know that there was a company targeting this with glasses particularly as Temple only mentioned using normal tinted glasses at stores like Walmart. I actually purchased computer glasses from Gunnars Optiks, and immediately the use of these glasses cleared up any shakiness or confusion of reading material for me.
Luke Crocker Why do they have to read with their glasses off
Lucky you. I have specific tinted lenses. ☺. Thank you for your insight *hugs*
I also have mild Asperger’s and suspect Irlen, but it’s hard to get tested here. How are you doing six years later?
When I got a tablet for reading, since I have low vision, I remember it being difficult to read. I would get nauseous and dizzy and my head would hurt amd my eyes so I changed the color of the font to dark blue and the background to light blue and it helped!
I wonder if this is why.
I just realized I've had this all my life and thought it was normal..
so how can you apply this treatment to a non-verbal child with no spontaneous speech? I believe my son could benefit from this treatment because of the way he tilts his head back or to the side to look at things,rubbing of the head and eyes and many other things but just wondering how you would make this work for a child like him?
something I find very intresting is that I undoubedly have irlens. it just doesn't show on black and white paper/screens instead things with an orange tinted background and all the sudden the shades of words start differing in shade/color and the shading/coloring starts moving around when I switch focus on the next word.
I went for a dyslexia assessment and the assessor told me that I'm not dyslexic, but to look into Irlen Syndrome. I don't think I have this though, letters don't move for me or whatever, the text looks normal, but my problem is that I have to read slowly to take everything in and that my eyes move too fast and sometimes they go out of focus.
FujoshiPeanut Why do they have to read with their glasses off
Thats IRLENS you cant know the difference till you get tested & try then tints.
I had exaclty same symptoms as you.
My eyes wanted to go all over the page, I had to use finger to keep track of where I was. During test you will likely see that even white paper is causing sone of this as is the lighting in room, glare & more.
ive got sever light sensitivity yet my eye doctor says there nothign wrong with my eyes btu she did suggest i look into this so no ive got a phone call shceduled to talk to an Irlen rep tomarow. hopefuly it will help and answer some questions.
Great. ☺forget doctors or usual medical help. They are mostly sh1t.
Does anyone know where to go to get the tinted glasses in the UK
Visit www.irlen.com to find a certified Irlen Diagnostician in the UK.
no but i do have irlen syndrome i figure that about a year a go my aunt had me tested
clay gorum how do you get tested? I think my husband needs to get diagnosed.
Hi my grandson had a orange glasses we stay in South Africa I want to help kids but don't no how can you give me advice here is doctors but it's very expenses
My aunt says she has this and I should get checked... I've had severe headaches all my life. Doctors could never figure out why... I mix up letters when reading... and bright light bothers me... I'm worried about the cost though, and also... wouldn't your brain just adjust to the color and take in more of the light that bothers you? (I'm not a scientist/doctoer... I don't understand how the brain works...) I just wonder because I used to swim a lot when I was a kid and I noticed that when I wore colored goggles for a long time that I wouldn't even notice the tent after a while... and when I took, say, blue goggles off the world would be red for a little bit till everything went back to normal...
Absolutely. I haven't had migraines since ☺...😎
how do I try the glasses?
You'll need to get assessed by a trained Irlen Diagnostician. You can find a list of certified professionals at www.irlen.com.
How do those who wear those Irlen glasses get around the common office and school dress code prohibition on wearing sunglasses?
Irlen Spectral Filter wearers receive a full diagnostic report from their Irlen Diagnostician that can be submitted to the school or workplace as required documentation to support the need of the assistive technology. Irlen Spectral Filters are not sunglasses, and if necessary, may be added to a child's 504 plan or IEP to ensure use in the school environment is not prevented.
i have tinted glasses from irlen singapore
Do they help, six years later?
All my life I didn't know I had Erlins until this year when I got tested and I got dyagnosed with irlens
Josh2003MUFC same
Hello 😎
When I was younger I thought everyone saw it like that 💀
Also patterns on things like shirts do the same
I have this, I only just found out
Why do they have to read with their glasses off
Mr Random I’ve got this condition and every year we get a stress test done and we need to read without glasses so they can see if it’s the right colour or not x
I had the UK test ( not Irlen). My reading efficiency was much better with irlen tints than clear prescription lenses. Hope that helps your suspicions. These kids are probably a bit short sighted so read closer but get the same visual distortions. I've been through the grind so I completely understand. Ask me questions as you like. 😀
I have irlen syndrome and people at school make fun of me because I can't read very well
Does this mean color blindness is part of the condition?
No.
Not to their knowledge.
Why is Trump on the intro?
I Have dyslexia discalculia dysgraphia and irlens yay me!
So do I, I feel you haha
Me too, I've just graduated with a teaching degree :)
Me too.
Congrats! I’m six years late, but still.
Long intro
I come across this looking into my ADHD I have both types
there is no way a piece of plasic fixes ADHD lol
you americans are funny
why do people try to cash in by "helping" lol
that's the people too many people "helping"
but not actualy doing anything
Zebedee Rotten it's not ADHD. Photophobia is a real thing.
Depends if that's what you're actually suffering from, it is real and the people who have Scotopic sensitivity Syndrome do benefit from the filters. I was diagnosed with ADHD but the diagnosis was incorrect, I have Irlen Syndrome or as it's also known SSS.
