Hi My Name is Cindy and I have Irlen Syndrome

Hi, I am Cindy and I am a certified Irlen screener in Northern Colorado. I have been a screener for over 6 years. I have seen many cases of Irlen Syndrome among many age groups. What is still difficult today is that Irlen is still not widely recognized. The Irlen Method quickly pinpoints Irlen syndrome and a method to pick the right colors. I can't imagine living life without my filtered glasses. And I cant fathom why others are so quick to dismiss the effects of them claiming Science has not proved the Irlen Method. Recently, a vision therapist claimed that Irlen filtered glasses are only a band aid. I would say prescription glasses are a band aid as well since they not fix the problem. Prescription glasses are a much needed tool to function much like Irlen filters.

My Irlen filters help my brain process information and calms my brain. It keeps the words from moving so much on the page. As soon as I take the filters off under bright light, my brain hurts and I am slow to process my environment and feel anxious. So I can assure you that the filters are valid benefit. I have seen so many effects of colors on others as well.

I will continue creating awareness and perhaps science will caught up with the results I have experienced and seen. Many alternative therapies have had the same hoops to go through before being fully recognized. I can say one thing, the medical field has no problems using medications before finding the cause of many conditions. The use of color is a non-evasive way to treat Irlen syndrome without the side effects. Why would we not address this?
