I discovered at age 56 that I, as a pharmacist, have Irlen Syndrome. I was diagnosed and then received my correct tint to resolve this issue. The results were amazing. I could read four words at a glance instead of one word at a time, and I could see all of my wife's face as one image instead of trying to put together several smaller images to see the whole picture. I really cannot imagine what your glasses propose to do in comparison. What correction is available for a prescription correction that is needed, or are your lenses only for those who need no prescription correction? Sincerely, Roger Wheaton, Ann Arbor, Michigan

See Right Dyslexia Glasses can be ordered as prescription glasses for an additional fee. If Irlen lenses do indeed remove all your visual problems then the See Right Dyslexia glasses can't offer a better visual experience.
Many Irlen customers aren't as happy with the Irlen lenses as you are because of the limits imposed by the single color basis of her method. Many visual dyslexia symptoms are the result of there being multiple wavelengths causing the problems which is not a problem for See Right Dyslexia Glasses as they filter out all the specific problem wavelengths.
See Right Dyslexia Glasses are very successful for those that are not helped by Irlen Lenses and still seek help for their visual dyslexia.
I think it is scandalous that Irlen testers have reported that they have a 50% quota to meet in referring clients for the more costly evaluation when there is no financial guarantee if the client receives no benefit from the lenses selected.
The major advantages of the See Right Dyslexia Glasses are the higher standard of success, a higher success rate, the elimination of the need for a personal evaluation and come with a money back guarantee.

Your site is interesting. Some points are valid, and some are quite misleading about the Irlen lenses. Their cost is relatively high. It can take a terribly long time to receive them.
On the other hand, we have not found anything else that has had such a dramatic and positive impact on our son and our family's daily lives. I have never met an Irlen screener that cared more about a quota than a child's actual needs. I am not sure about that statement, and have reason to suspect its accuracy as well. It could be an isolated case.
I haven't seen ANY accurate or complete quotes on the Irlen success rates. On the other hand, I don't know of any vision therapist or anyone else serving the learning disability community that can guarantee a
"one size fits all" solution for a child. That would assume that our brains were all made in the same manner.
I do applaud you for the money back guarantee. I would be interested in your rate of return. Since it it is not customized, and a specialist is not used to evaluate a person's needs, it can allow a return policy like yours. Eliminating any evaluation time will definitely reduce costs. On the other hand, does it also reduce success rates?
CORRECTION - I have NEVER heard of one single tint helping anyone. Our son has a huge mix of colors that are combined for his lenses. While the medical community (pediatric ophthamologist, allergist, pediatrician with tests including an MRI) couldn't get rid of his daily migraines, the Irlen lenses removed them over 95% of the time, from the first day. Math worksheets were reduced from an average of 60 minutes of almost tearful frustration, to 5-10 minutes of ease. He could read music and the notes stopped sliding up and down the staff, and maps were understandable for the first time.
While your technology, and your business model sounds great, it is diminished by a simplified and possibly misleading representation of the Irlen solution.
