Irlen Glasses

When I go into shops, especially supermarkets I get dizzy or if there is bright lights, even the sun in my eyes,, I get dizzy, it is like I am half drunk. My balance goes off. I was thinking maybe I am light sensitive.. researching,, I came across Irlen Glasses which are filter lens of some type.

Anyone know anything about this, is it a path worth exploring. I always assumed the dizzy spells were anxiety related, but could it be light sensitivity ?

  • I am quite familiar with how Irlen glasses can help individuals with light sensitivity and other perceptual processing difficulties. Here's a link to an article published on one of the top Brain Blogs in the United States last week about how colored glasses can help some individuals on the autism spectrum - especially if they experience light sensitivity like you describe. Hope this helps.  http://brainblogger.com/2013/03/02/the-autistic-child-more-than-meets-the-eye/

    As a side note, Optometrists usually aren't familiar with how Irlen is able to help, or if they are familiar, are usually working off very old information.
