The analogy I use for why the glasses work for the visual dyslexic is this: Imagine trying to read through the flames of candles on a birthday cake. The more severely dyslexic you are the more candles on the cake. There can be many different patterns of candles on the cake that cause different problems. Some visual dyslexia problems involve motion, so let's shake the cake for those dyslexics. For those dyslexics with depth perception problems we have two cakes to look through, each with different patterns and numbers of candles. The See Right Dyslexia Glasses blow out all the candles.

The reason the candles exist is called autofluorescence and is caused by autofluorescent proteins that exist in different parts of the eye. That is why there are different numbers and patterns of candles on each individual's cake. Some of the autofluorescent proteins migrate up and down the cones of the eye and cause the problems that have a motion component to them. Relate this to shaking the cake.

Normal depth perception requires both eyes to see the same image.That is why two different cakes with different patterns and numbers of candles were used in the analogy. Blowing out the candles allows both eyes to now see the same image, restoring normal depth perception.

Because several proteins can be involved in the dyslexic's eye and autofluoresce at different wavelenghts, some people have tried colored filters that are individually evaluated and, to be fair, sometimes extinguish the light from one type of protein for that dyslexic. This blows out some of the candles, but leaves the rest. See Right Dyslexia Glasses blow out all the candles so that dyslexics do not need to be individually evaluated.

While that is as far as I can take the birthday cake analogy, that does not represent all the filtration the glasses do. They are also designed to reduce glare, primarily by removing yellow light from the spectrum. This is because the yellow cone receptors in the eye are considered inhibitors and associated with glare problems.

It is because of the combination of the filtration of the different wavelenghts that cause different visual problems for different visual dyslexics into one filter that makes the See Right Dyslexia Glasses effective for all visual dyslexics.
