Nystagmus / Irlens syndrome, anyone?

stranger

I was diagnosed a very long time ago with Nystagmus. For anyone who doesn't know, it's a developmental eye disorder whereby the eyes wobble. Many people will never drive (it's harder for us because our vision varies) and many have other diagnoses alongside.

I was diagnosed with Irlens Syndrome in 2009. This is a condition (I don't quite understand it myself!) in which many use coloured overlays; as white paper is far too bright to read or write on. This may or may not be related to being hypersensitive to light.

There seems to be very little information out there on Autism and either of the conditions I mentioned. Does anyone have either condition, please?

  • Thank you. Have spoke to Nystagmus Network about this before and they don't have a lot of information.

    I had another assessment for irlens syndrome on Monday. It has been recommended that I get coloured glasses, have a different coloured overlay and see if I can get the NHS / PCT to fund the glasses for me. Apparently, it might be the cause of several issues I have.
