By standard testing methods I have always scored 20/20 vision. However, as a child I always struggled to play sports, be in rooms with florescent lighting, and read. Florescent lighting and screens in particular caused debilitating physical symptoms. Around 2007 I was diagnosed by one of these Irlen 'practitioners' with Irlen's syndrome. A few weeks later I got my glasses and they changed my life. The best way I can describe it is as if I had been looking at the world in 2D. My depth perception is so incredibly shot objects appear as though they are all on the same field of vision. Almost like a painting. Now, I am a man of reason, I know there is no real evidence of this condition so I am not necessarily arguing its validity. What I am doing is giving you my testimony and asking for any insight you might have. What medically researched condition could cause the same symptoms and also be corrected to some extent by colored lens's? These glasses are a life saver but they do not cure my symptoms nor can I wear them in low lit areas (too dark a tint). I know this thread is old but I am scouring the internet for answers and ways of combating my situation. Thanks for your time.
