What is Irlen Syndrome?

Irlen Syndrome (also referred to at times as Scotopic Sensitivity Syndrome, and Visual Stress) is a sensory modulation or  processing disorder. It is not an optical or visual problem. It is a problem with the brain’s ability to modulate or process sensory information--often showing up in the peripheral visual field. This problem tends to run in families and is not currently identified by other standardized educational or medical tests. 

People with Irlen Syndrome may get headaches, dizzy, nauseous, tired, irritable, nervous, anxious, eye pain and strain, stomachaches, fidgety, brain fog, lighted headed, disoriented, and tense, so reading is uncomfortable, painful, exhausting or too much work.
