Are Irlen lenses for me

Words moving on the page? Colour can change that instantly.

Many people struggle with reading even when their eyesight is “fine.” Words can blur, move, crowd together, or feel uncomfortable to look at, leading to headaches, fatigue, and frustration. The good news is that relief can often be experienced straight away. Through a simple assessment process, I can determine whether Irlen coloured overlays or precision tinted lenses make print clearer, more stable, and more comfortable for you. I offer a free first consultation and am licensed in the Eastern Bay of Plenty, servicing Tairāwhiti, East Cape, and Gisborne.
If reading is hard, colour can make it easier today.

If your child avoids reading, loses their place, complains of sore eyes, or becomes quickly tired, this may be related to how their brain processes visual information, and it is often something that can be helped right away. During an assessment, your child can try different Irlen coloured overlays to see whether the page becomes clearer and easier to read. I work gently and supportively with tamariki and whānau, offering a free first consultation, and I am licensed to work across the Eastern Bay of Plenty, Tairāwhiti, East Cape, and Gisborne.
Headaches when you read? The right colour can help.

Frequent headaches, eye strain, light sensitivity, or fatigue after reading can make learning and work exhausting. For many people, these symptoms reduce noticeably when the right colour filter is used. I assess how you respond to Irlen coloured overlays and tinted lenses so you can see and feel the difference for yourself in real time. I offer a free first consultation and support clients throughout the Eastern Bay of Plenty, Tairāwhiti, East Cape, and Gisborne.
Reading all day shouldn’t hurt your eyes.

If long hours of reading leave you drained, slow, or avoiding paperwork, you may benefit from a simple visual solution rather than just pushing through. In an assessment, you can trial Irlen overlays and tinted lenses to see whether text becomes clearer, more stable, and easier to sustain. As a licensed Irlen Diagnostician in the Eastern Bay of Plenty, I offer a free first consultation and work with clients across Tairāwhiti, East Cape, and Gisborne.
Try the colour. Feel the difference.

Some people’s visual systems are very sensitive to light, contrast, and patterns in print, which can make reading uncomfortable or tiring. Rather than changing your vision, Irlen coloured overlays and tinted lenses work by changing how light enters your eyes, and the effect can often be felt immediately. In an assessment, you can try different colours and experience the difference for yourself.

Clear eyesight — but still struggling to read?

An optometrist checks how well your eyes see, while an Irlen Diagnostician looks at how your brain interprets what you see. You can have perfect vision and still find reading uncomfortable, tiring, or distorted because this is a visual perception difficulty in the brain, not an eye problem. Through Irlen coloured overlays or tinted lenses, many people experience relief straight away.

If your child benefits from colour, you probably will too.

Sensitivity to light, contrast, and patterns in print often runs in families. If your child reads more comfortably with Irlen coloured overlays or tinted lenses, it is very likely that a parent or sibling will notice the same benefit. Many adults first recognise their own visual stress after seeing the change in their child. In your free first consultation, you can try overlays yourself and experience the difference.
