Irlen Glasses

autismtwo

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 ?

  • You're welcome. It's to do with eye strain, I think. Some people who use overlays need different colours for their lenses. I think that's to do with the distance between what you're reading.

    When I was tested, (been tested twice just using overlays) I found that most colours were fine. This made it easier when attending uni, because they didn't stock grey paper (it's not a common colour used, whereas blue and purple are) and it's not possible to get grey lined paper. But I have been told I can make my own.

    I now use blue (various shades) paper.
