Specialized Irlen Syndrome Testing at Zanfini Wellness Center
At Zanfini Wellness Center in Stuart, FL, we offer comprehensive Irlen Syndrome Testing to diagnose and treat issues related to visual processing disorders. Irlen Syndrome, a condition that affects the brain's ability to process visual information, can lead to difficulties with reading, light sensitivity, and can exacerbate conditions such as anxiety and dyslexia.
What is Irlen Syndrome?
Irlen Syndrome, also known as Scotopic Sensitivity Syndrome, is a perceptual processing disorder. It is not an optical issue but a problem with the brain's ability to process visual information. This syndrome can affect various aspects of life, including academic and work performance, behavior, attention, and the ability to interpret information accurately.
Conditions Addressed by Irlen Syndrome Testing
- Light Processing Disorder: Difficulty processing certain wavelengths of light, leading to issues such as glare, eyestrain, headaches, and fatigue.
- Anxiety: Overstimulation from harsh lighting and visual patterns can increase anxiety and stress levels.
- Reading Disorders and Dyslexia: Challenges with reading fluency, comprehension, and endurance, often because of distorted print or rapid fatigue while reading.
