Hi,
I have a friend who has a grandson that was recently diagnosed with epilepsy.
My wife has recently been diagnosed with Irlen Syndrome (Scotopic Sensitivity Syndrome) (Meares-Irlen Syndrome). She has developed EXTREME light sensitivity issues and has trouble with depth perception and reading black on white print.
In researching the Irlen Syndrome, I discovered that many symptoms are similar to epilepsy (not all, but many). In continued research, I stumbled upon a device called an Intuitive Colorimeter which does the same process as Irlen but seems to be much more accurate.
I am trying to find anyone IN CANADA who has this device. The Irlen method seems kind of pricey and we must travel to the U.S. to have the lenses tinted.
My wife has already been helped greatly in reading the black-on-white printed page with the overlays obtained during an initial Irlen screening.
I believe (at this time) that either of these two methods can help to remove one or more barriers to help the epileptic sufferer by eliminating a particular light wavelength that seems to cause the brain some problems...
