No I Am NOT wearing Sunglasses! ...The EYE ROBOTS Survival Guide to visual stress


This is what some people experience every day of their lives:

"the page flashed and rivers of white formed in the page"
"the letters run around the page and give me headaches. White paper is too bright and most of the letters were blurred"
" the page flashed, there were grey lines between the writing, the white board has pink dots all over it"
"Life, even in the dark was a flashing mass of different coloured lights bouncing off all interior and exterior objects"
"Words on a printed page were blurry and often flashing and my eyes, dazzled, would start watering "

These quotes are from pupils at our school describing visual stress. We wanted to provide information for those who experience these types of distortions. Visual stress affects up to 20% of the population. Many can be helped by wearing coloured glasses.

The aim of this website is to inform about visual stress, explain how coloured glasses can help, and also to help remove the barriers that children with visual stress face every day particularly at school.
We have been helped and would like to help others.
