My Daughter Has Special Glasses for Her Dyslexia

originally posted 22 OCT 2014

My daughter was fortunate to take part in a special study on Chromagen lenses. For taking part in the study, the glasses and exams were free (worth somewhere in the neighborhood of $1000!). I've shared in detail our story on Hubpages but just want to share a little here as well in hopes that it helps somebody else.

The glasses in the photo above are my daughter's. They have a slightly different tint in each lens which allows her to process information a bit more quickly.

How do I know this? We pulled her out of school in second grade because traditional school was just not a good fit for our daughter. We've worked on reading fluency over the years. I know more than anybody what she is capable of doing and, indeed, she has come so far and loves reading but it does present a bit of a challenge for her at times.

When she put on these new glasses for the first time, her reading fluency rate went up 30%. If you know about reading fluency, this is huge! She loves these glasses and wears them everywhere. She says they make of what she does easier.

I don't know if you have a loved one with dyslexia, but these might be worth looking into. They don't work for everybody. I think you really have to have specific symptoms with your dyslexia but google Chromagen lenses to learn more.
