Irlen Screener of Northern Colorado

Irlen does not affect just reading, it affects how you process your environment. As a screener, my focus is to not only find the right color, but to treat how to manage an overloaded brain.

Little swaps. Big help.
But did you ever consider it may be more than “just stress” or “attention issues.”

Irlen Syndrome affects an estimated 1 in 7 people — yet most have never heard of it.

Awareness changes lives. 💙

A good demonstration of how Irlen Syndrome affects reading. I don’t love reading but the filters(colors in my glasses) help slow down distortions on the page. I avoided reading for many years even in my college years.

I'm thrilled with my new Irlen filter glasses, featuring a beautiful pink hue with two layers of precision-crafted color. Although I've noticed a recent surge in Irlen symptoms, including words shifting on the page, starbursts in headlights, and increased fatigue after computer use, I'm confident in the importance of regular rechecks to adapt to my changing needs. That's why I appreciate working with Bonnie Bartels, a compassionate diagnostician in Iowa who provides personalized attention to find the perfect colors and density. With my new lenses, I'm looking forward to a calmer, more focused life, and I'm grateful for the opportunity to take control of my visual experience. A big thanks to Helen Irlen!

If I were Barbie, this is how I would promote Irlen Syndrome.

Dr. Amen’s spect scan shows how Irlen filters help block light waves that are bothersome lightwaves that can provide immediate relief in calming the brain. By blocking specific wavelengths that are unique to each individual, the brain is about to process light waves easier and provide relief from light sensitivity. Blue blockers are a “one size fits all approach that provides limited relief.

Bright headlights at night are bothersome for those who have Irlen Syndrome. Some lights can cause a starburst effect that can cause anxiety and reduced attention and concentration along with headaches. Irlen filtered glasses can ease the effect of bright headlights providing comfort and ease in driving at night.

Individuals with Irlen Syndrome often encounter significant challenges during holiday shopping. Upon entering a DSW store, I was immediately overwhelmed by the harsh fluorescent lighting and stark white walls. Without Irlen filtered glasses, I would rapidly experience debilitating symptoms, including headaches, dizziness, and nausea. These effects are genuine and can substantially impede holiday shopping. Consequently, I tend to avoid stores with unpleasant lighting. The moment I am aware of a potentially bothersome environment, my symptoms are triggered. It is essential to acknowledge the severity of these symptoms. For more information. Visit Irlen.com.

I thought that words moving on the page was normal. In school, I would avoid reading as much as possible since it took an enormous effort to stop the shakiness. Sometimes, I would get dizzy from reading. Image, that this shakiness does not affect reading but how you process your whole environment. This why you Irlen filtered glasses. The shakiness is reduced in reading and processing your environment. For me, it made my life much easier.
