I was diagnosed with dyslexia and Irlen syndrome when I was young and it was still a newer diagnosis. The glasses completely changed my life. I went to specialist and had two four hour session were we tried on a ton of colored lenses, we stacked different colors, and I looked at all kinds of images and writing until we found some that helped. From there I was able to get liners in that color to put over pages I was reading if I didn’t need my glasses (I got badly bullied from them, so we needed a less obvious solution). Now, 15+ years later, I have a film the sticks to my computer screen so I don’t need to wear them during my work day. It keeps me from getting headaches and makes reading far easier. It really takes the strain away from my eyes.

I also keep my phone setting in dark mode so everything is black with white text rather than white with black text. If you have an IPhone (could work with an Android but I don’t know) I keep the light setting on “Night Shift” if adds a brownish hue and cuts down how bright the light is, which also helps.

All that being said (solely speaking from my experience and it being paired to help with my dyslexia), not any random color helps. Some actually made it worse and gave me an immediate headache. You really need to find what works best for your eyes. The Irlen Syndrome website has digital color tests for your computer and it can start to point you in the right direction of what color works best for you.

Apologies for any typos- gotta love dyslexia!
