Irlen Diagnostic Clinic Newcastle. Specialising in Light sensitivity and Learning Difficulties

Reading shouldn't cause discomfort, headaches, moving or blurry print

Irlen Syndrome can make text swim, glare or blur and can be mistaken for dyslexia, ADHD or "just not liking to read". A formal screening will identify if it's Irlen Syndrome.

A father and his daughter reading together, the girl wearing tinted Irlen lenses

The letters seem to move, swap places, or float off the line. Some children read one word at a time, losing their place again and again, and no one else in the room understands why it's so hard.

Try colour changing

Tap a colour. Everyone responds to different colours.

If one colour makes the words settle, that is the first clue. A screening finds the exact tint that works for you.

What happens at a screening?

One visit, no referral needed. Most families know within the hour whether tinted lenses will help.

  1. 01

    Screening

    A trained diagnostician checks reading, light sensitivity, and visual comfort using the Irlen Method.

  2. 02

    Colour diagnosis

    We test individual wavelengths to find the exact tint that calms the visual distortion. It's different for everyone.

  3. 03

    Overlays and glasses

    Start with coloured overlays for reading, and move to Irlen Spectral Filter glasses for full-time relief.

What it costs

Screenings and colour diagnosis are priced separately from glasses or overlays, so you never pay for more than you need.

Screenings from $140 - $170 (depending on location)
