Here at Valli Opticians Netherton we are able to help patients who have visual stress π
Colour can be used as a relief for visual stress, which is often associated with dyslexia. Visual stress is a condition whereby the patient will suffer from visual disturbances despite having perfect or corrected eyesight, which can make reading difficult. This is because the brain is unable to process the full spectrum of light. Using colour (overlays or tinted lenses) will selectively reduce the input of certain wavelengths of light and allow the brain to process visual information correctlyπ
We are able to complete an overlay assessment to determine what coloured overlay helps each individual best and we are also able to do a more in depth colorimeter test. A colorimeter test is able to determine a specific colour combination that is unique to each person, this colour can then be made into a tinted lens for the patient to wearβ¨
If you have any questions regarding visual stress or want to get booked in for a colorimeter test please give us a ring on 01484 664433 π
