Whatever about MAYBE migraines... But how in the name of god could it cure ADHD , dyspraxia..Etc.... Seriously I would want to see a lot of valid proof before I'd even consider even thinking about trying it out.

Attention deficit hyperactive disorder.... How could it cure hyperactivity???

The Orthoscopic system consists of computerised assessment that provides an unparalleled set of tools for the OPTICIAN to determine the patient's optimum colour response. This optimum is then combined with the effects of differing illumination. With this data, lenses can be prescribed incorporating optimised colour filtering. These will minimise and often elimate the effects of visual perception difficulties.

It is different to other colour systems as it looks at how all the senses are interlinked.

It doesn't claim to cure. Take ADHD, Dyspraxia, Dyslexia there is very often a visual processing problem.That is what is being treated. A standard eye exam checks the health of the eye and if one is short or long sighted. Visual processing is different, it looks at how the brain is processing the information recieved from the eye. A regular eye exam is recommended first and if there is no precription or it is not enough on its own, then the Orthoscopic lenses are explored as a possibility.

But what about children who are auditory learners with dyslexia?How could this possibly help?Children with dyspraxia may have perception difficulties,but we have never had any success with lenses.

Orthoscopics assessment is very different to other systems.

If you are sure there is no visual element. then auditory processing is worth researching.

I remember seeing an open university program a few years ago on statistics, talking about coloured glasses.

They were able to show that some people with dyslexia, respond to certain visual gratings* in a smiler manner to those with light sensitive epilepsy. This hints that there could be an underlying bases for how coloured glasses help them to read.

Dyslexia is an umbrella term for a collection of different conditions, some of which are related to visual processing. If someone has difficulty processing visual information, it would not be suprising if they were to favor auditory learning. As there are different types and causes for dyslexia, it is not suprising that the coloured glasses work for some and not for others.

Also a person with dyspraxia may or may not have perception difficulties. It is a bit like some one saying keep your eye on the ball, to someone who has trouble catching / kicking it. Another similar one is calling some one who can't sing in tune or play an instrument, "tone deaf"; when they can hear and enjoy music fine.

Could a quack err optician PM me if they offer the colour blindness coloured lenses - I'm desperate enough to give anything ago and have a particular set of circumstances that mean these things might actually work for me. Ideally central Dublin.
