Detailed explanation-1: -Irlen Syndrome is hereditary and runs in families, affecting males and females equally. However, an individual can acquire Irlen Syndrome as a result of illness, medical procedures, or head injury. Like Autism, Irlen Syndrome is a spectrum disorder, falling on a continuum from slight to severe.
Detailed explanation-2: -Irlen Syndrome (also referred to at times as Meares-Irlen Syndrome, Scotopic Sensitivity Syndrome, and Visual Stress) is a perceptual processing disorder. It is not an optical problem. It is a problem with the brain’s ability to process visual information.
Detailed explanation-3: -Indicators of scotopic sensitivity syndrome can be similar to those of Dyslexia, which can lead to a misdiagnosis. Scotopic sensitivity syndrome can be helped by using coloured overlays during reading, colour tinted glasses or changing the background colour on electronic devices.
