Irlen Syndrome is all about visual perception (Click that). It is about what is unable to be perceived until corrective tinted lenses are received. Before I received my lenses I had to “scan” every image whether it was leaves on a tree or my wife’s face. After looking through my new lenses, designed just for me, I saw the whole picture as one image. Also consider the plight of many Asperger’s clients who have dealt with distorted images of all that they try to perceive. Alex Michaels, who used to live in Boston, helped National Geographic illustrate what it was like for her as she drove in the July, 1999, issue and the image shows the “normal” image she was then able to perceive after looking through her custom tinted lenses ordered for her by Irlen diagnostician, Ann Bonvallet, of Ann Arbor, Michigan.
