Blur

February 19, 2017 Kate4 Comments

I wear glasses, a lot... In truth all the time. I am particularly blind without them. If you know about eyes then I have astigmatism, a squint and myopia.

What? A new coping strategy…?

November 16, 2015 Kate2 Comments

Colour and Meares-Irlen

April 9, 2014 Kate3 Comments

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… Continue reading Colour and Meares-Irlen
