Irlen Screening Services for the Northern Nevada Area

Two-Step Process

The Irlen Method requires a two-step process for diagnosis and treatment. It starts with problem identification and color identification and requires two testing sessions. During the first testing session, the Irlen Method is used to determine whether you have Irlen Syndrome and will also tell your certified professional if the Irlen Method’s color technology will be a beneficial solution. During the second testing session, your Irlen Method professional will determine the precise wavelengths of light that are responsible for causing your problems. This is done by using an endless amount of color filter combinations to decide which one will work best for you.

Testing For Irlen Syndrome

Screening for Irlen Syndrome requires two testing sessions:

1. The first will determine if you have Irlen Syndrome and if it can be helped using the Irlen Method’s color application. In this session, your Irlen professional will also test how severe the condition is and if color can help limit or eliminate your struggles.

2. The second is meant only for those who experience moderate to significant improvement with colored overlays. During this session, the certified professional will determine the specific wavelengths of light that are causing your problems. You will then be given the correct color overlays to help alleviate your symptoms.

Treatment

Treatment for Irlen Syndrome is determined at your second screening session and usually consists of corrective colored overlays. The overlays are available as either colored glasses or contact lenses. Essentially, the color you’re given will help your brain assess visual information properly allowing your body to process information more normally. It’s important to know that the color you wear aas glasses will be different from your plastic overlay color. If your problems relate to any of the following symptoms, then your best option for treatment are colored glasses because they improve issues with print as well as the environment:

Math Computation

Copying

Depth-Perception

Light Sensitivity

Headaches

It’s crucial that you wear the correct color for your specific needs because the wrong color can cause further problems or worsen your current symptoms. However, wearing the right color is a proven solution for treating Irlen Syndrome signs and symptoms.
