I went for testing yesterday and it was suggested that I use a colour filter as I may have Meares-Irlen Syndrome. Not heard of it? Well, if you suffer from dyslexia, ME, epilepsy or get migraines then this might help.
It is really easy. You just use a colour filter. I’m not sure how it helps but it stops your eyes becoming tired and, for me, migraines. I can write for longer and not feel wiped after!
So, I had a look how to change the colour of the computer and it seemed very complicated and only changed some programs. Then I found this… It runs in the background and filters everything. You can turn it off and on. So, when I watch a movie I can switch it off, but writing a blog post – it’s on. Easy! It also doesn’t seem to harm the computer (if anyone has a problem please let me know).

I use purple but you can change it to any colour.
I am not a doctor nor an IT technological specialist so I can’t guarantee the program will work well with your computer or help. But it does for me, and if you are a migraine sufferer or have Meares Irlen then anything that might help is worth a try. 🙂
I print nearly everything off on Jade green paper, but my screen it blue grey, as are my reading glasses. I will have a look to see how this programme runs on my Mac.
Cool. Please, and let me know. Thanks. 🙂
