Assessments for visual stress symptoms

Some people experience symptoms such as visual distortion, eye strain or discomfort when reading. This is sometimes referred to as visual stress.

At The Lacey Practice, we offer coloured overlay assessments to explore whether specific coloured overlays may make reading more comfortable for certain individuals.

Symptoms of visual stress may include:

  • Words appearing blurred or moving

  • Reading discomfort

  • Eye strain or headaches when reading

  • Difficulty focusing on text

During your assessment, we will discuss your symptoms, trial different coloured overlays and provide clear, informed advice.

We follow professional guidance and ensure patients understand that coloured overlays are intended to improve visual comfort for some individuals and are not a treatment for dyslexia.
