Orthoscopics - Solving the problems of Visual Dyslexia by Colour Correction

 
 

The Problem

Visual Dyslexia is the name given to a group of symptoms caused by malfunctions in the eye/brain communication chain.
It is estimated that up to 10% of children may suffer from the disorder to varying degrees.
A person with visual dyslexia may experience a range of symptoms from reading and writing problems through to major perceptual difficulties. They will often under-achieve in academic work or in social environments, self esteem is lowered, anti social behaviour is common and the sufferer can even exhibit neurological symptoms.
Symptoms are often unrecognised (even in a standard 'eye test') and are common in the school classroom.
Latest research suggests that all children who are underachieving at school must be fully assessed for visual perceptual problems as well as having an eye examination.
Early intervention can make a significant difference to the rest of your child's life.You will be pleased to know that assessment and treatment are available now.
