Les from Pullman asks about some glasses that supposedly help with dyslexia, do they work?

Les, the glasses you are talking about are probably more hype than actual help but they might help make the eyes more comfortable since they have a slight tint to them. One of the theories behind dyslexia is that the nerve impulses coming from the eyes to the brain aren’t of equal speed in each eye. There is some speculation that wearing tinted lenses slows the impulses down allowing the brain to correctly interpret the information it is processing. The proof behind these claims isn’t very solid, but if the reader is fairly light sensitive, perhaps the tint blocks annoying glare off the page or computer, making the images clearer. If the images are clearer, the focusing system isn’t working as hard, making the eyes more comfortable leading to possible improved reading skills. Thanks for the question.
