Struggling with Reading?
We help people of all ages enjoy clearer, more comfortable reading
If you or your child experience headaches, tired eyes, or the feeling that words are moving or blurring on the page, you’re not imagining it. These are common symptoms of visual stress, a condition that can make reading far more difficult than it needs to be.
With the right colour, reading can become easier, and far less exhausting.
What is Visual Stress?
Visual stress occurs when the brain struggles to process the visual information on a page or screen. This can cause:
- Words that blur, double or “dance”
- Headaches or nausea when reading
- Light sensitivity
- Difficulty focusing for more than a few minutes
- Fatigue after short periods of reading or studying
You don’t have to ignore these symptoms, and you don’t have to wait for them to get worse.

How the Process Works
1. A full eye examination
A vision professional will make sure there are no underlying issues before proceeding to visual stress screening
2. Screening
This will involve an assessment with visual patterns, reading tests and coloured overlays (plastic coloured sheets). If symptoms are reduced you will be given a coloured overlay to use for a trial period at home. If colour continues to help, you may then be referred for an Intuitive Colorimeter assessment.
3. Intuitive Colorimeter Assessment
A trained specialist measures how different colours affect your comfort and clarity when reading. Using advanced Colorimetry technology, your specialist identifies your unique tint – the one that helps stabilise text for your eyes.
4. Clearer, Easier Reading
With the right tint in place, reading becomes significantly more comfortable, helping you focus for longer.
Real Stories from Real People
Wearing tints has totally changed my son’s life. He no longer has headaches or feels sick after lots of reading. His English grade at school went up two grades in a term and all his school work has improved very significantly. Listening to him read is like listening to a different child and his handwriting has improved. The best result of this is that his confidence has doubled in the short time he has been using overlays and tints.”

“The improvement in K’s school work is tenfold. Within six months of receiving her lenses she had gone from a reading age of seven to ten years. K’s teachers were amazed. She is flying ahead in class and did remarkably well in her recent exams. She is now considered to have reached her appropriate grade level. Her confidence both at school and home is greatly improved. K now loves to read in bed, can read a menu when we visit a restaurant, tell the time, read information on a board. BRILLIANT.”
