Testing for Irlen® Syndrome
The Irlen® method consists of two separate testing sessions.
The first testing session is called a screening. Both certified Irlen® Screeners and Diagnosticians can screen.
After the screening you will know if you have the syndrome, how severe you are, and what distortions you have. Then you will see if colored overlays over the page will help to treat and alleviate your problems . This takes 1-2 hours .
The second testing session can only be carried out by a Certified Irlen® Diagnostician.
This precision testing determines the personal color of spectral filters which can be worn as glasses or contact lenses.
Working carefully, the diagnostician will find the correct color to tint your personal spectral filters. The color is often different than the overlays as it is transmitted light instead of reflected light. The process takes about 2-4 more hours.

* Frames
