Irlen Syndrome

Irlen syndrome is discussed as a related visual-processing issue that can affect reading. The proposed mechanism for Irlen-related visual processing involves wavelength frequency entering the brain. Some experiences associated with Irlen syndrome involve floating visual disturbances around words without classic dyslexia. Helen Irlen's work is referenced in relation to dyslexia, visual training, and altered visual processing. Tinted glasses or filters may reduce perceived word movement for some people.
