Irlen Syndrome is a perceptual processing disorder, and is
sometimes confused as an optical disorder. The disorder is described as an
inability to process visual information. This disorder is not currently
identified by other standardized education or medical tests. Ultimately this
disorder is an extreme light sensitive, and can affect academic and work
performance, behavior, ability to sit still, and concentration. An example of
this is trying to read a book, where the words start to become blurry because
of the light bouncing off the page. The problem can manifest differently in
each individual, and doesn’t have any known cure.
This disorder was really interesting. I have never heard of something like this and seems like a very great inconvenience on someone's life.
