Unsure question

[GarethB]

Andrew,

Coloured lenses for dyslexia make a huge difference. Without coloured filters I get headacjes quickly when reading and strugle to stop the words and letters moving about the page.

Coloured lenses practically stop this to the point I can comfortably sit and read all day with no ill efects. I still write letters back to front and get the wrong ones which I think is the way my brain is wired. Reading though when tested for dyslexia show I do not have the condition when wearing differnet coloured lenses. Mine are just slightly different shades of blue.

My niece seems to be able to coper pretty well with things too, although she finds the different tinted spec lenses hard to wear (vanity in late teenage girls is probably not unknown).

Thanks for the description of the benefit of these lenses.

Hers are more starkly different than yours, I guess that the actual colours of the tints have to be carefully tailored to each individual wearer.

Coloured contact lenses should help with vanity

My eyes are very dark so no-one knows I have tinted lenses.

[Andrew MacLean]

Thanks G-B. I am going to save your postings on this as a file and eMail them to my neice. That is, so long as you don't object and John doesn't tell me it would be a breach of his intellectual property.

Will hold off to allow time for objections.

Andrew,

I have no problem at all with you passing bits of the forum on. We are a support group, after all!

p.s. Congratulations on achieving your fifth eye!

[Andrew MacLean]

Eye 5

When?

Thanks, was sure it'd be okay, but didn't want to go ahead and make the copies without asking first.

Thanks for eye 5

[John Smith]

You were the proud recipient of eye 5 at 750 posts.

So we now have 2 champions. Gareth's turn next, I think!

coloured contact lenses would make the hole world look coloured all the time, though....
I'm told there are some people with dysliexia who can get the coloured lenses improvement by putting the pages they are reading inside a coloured plastic folder. Assuming, of course, that the particular colour that works for them is one they can gt coloured plastic folders in.

Rosemary is right, there are coloured plastic overlays available to place over pages and I guess these could also be taped to a PC monitor.

Rosemary,

I do not see the world in a shade of blue, but they do make the colours more natural for me.
