Guest guest Posted March 16, 2011 Report Share Posted March 16, 2011 Have not try those but we use eyelights from eyelights.com in our house.My dd is on the 4th color of lenses now and making good progress.Her comprehension is up, eye tracking is really good.She was only able to see and read site words in big letters and now in normal size. I think her processing increased a lot due to ability to hear and see at the same time without any delays. She smiles a lot now and get all the jokes in our family conversations. Natasha. Irlen glasses Has anyone used these this glasses in their kids?I spoke to a parent of an autistic 8 years old boy and she said that her son was not talking even when she has done lots of treatments on him, but once he started wearing the prescribed colored glasses he became a different person. He started to talk, concentrated better and now is reading and writing. her story is amazing. Does anyone have any any knowledge about the success rate of this glasses.Olga Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 16, 2011 Report Share Posted March 16, 2011 Natasha, That's great that your daughter has improved on the eyelights, they are different from the Irlen glasses but I think light and color is an important factor that affect our kids learning abilities and also the way they see and perseve the world around them. Thanks for sharing.

Guest guest Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 My son (Asperger) did an Irlen assessment. He was not a keen reader and complained that reading made him tired. It turns out he has oversensitivity to light, so when reading the white paper was competing with the text for attention. This can give them the feeling that the words are moving, and make it easy to skip lines or lose their place. We are using shaded overlays (grey) which were the best color for him, and sometimes print out documents on greyish paper. He also finds reading on a Kindle very comfortable. Some people need color tint; as part of his assessment they tried the different shades to see which made text the most readable for him. His case is not that serious so he doesn't use the glasses.

Guest guest Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 Jo, My son experiences tiredness too when reading and has been telling me that letters move and become blurried when he tries to read them. We saw the oftalmologist and he couldn't find anything wrong with his eyesight and he suggested to take him to a dislexia specialist and I have made an appointment already to see her, also the mother of the boys I spoke with lately sounds very possitive about her son's progress and attributed it to the glasses and perhaps other therapist she is implementing. I am gladd to hear your son's reading has improved as well, I think that if this is something that might help my son to overcome his reading issues it is well worth it to try it. I may also look into Kindle reading to see if it help . Thanks for your nice feedback, I appreciate it very much. Olga > > My son (Asperger) did an Irlen assessment.

Guest guest Posted March 18, 2011 Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 Olga, We tried the overlays with my older kid....in the states you can get the overlays at a Staples or an office supply store and you get a packet of colors. He did it for a while and said it wasn't helping, then he started writing on different colored paper with no big wows....what seems to help was just cleaning out the garbage with cholestyramine, clay etc. He is my NT kid with alot of uninvited guests--when we moved, he got sentenced to an elementary school that places out about 20 buckets to catch the leaks from the rain....he's still in hot water health wise, but I was surprised that a little clean up helped alot....he did really nicely on Soloray Yeast Cleanse--which I had purchased for my younger kid and it had ingredients he was allergic to....when my older one started on this he said he felt a buzzing in his head but reported he felt sooooo much better. He also uses Isagenix's Isaflush which when taken seems to be helpful and this also tests well for my little one (no corn capsules which is knocks out so many medications and supps). lisa = Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
