Top Tip Visual Stress @ Dyslexia Dublin CETC 2013 ©
Visual stress (don’t call me stupid) can cause many people to stop reading due to eye strain and result in possible headaches.
Around two in every ten people can suffer with visu...al stress. Constant use of laptops and computers can irritate sufferers of visual stress and also working for long periods in artificial light and unfiltered UV light can also put a huge strain on the eyes.
What is the main cause of strain and irritation? This occurs when the eyes are working overtime trying to focus, in particular, on written script, be it in hard copy or on a computer screen. Words seem to crash into each other, no apparent gaps between letters.
A VISUAL STRESS QUICK CHECKLIST:
(In the case of schools, keep your eyes open for children in class who...)
- Fatigue....tires quickly when working with text.
- Have problems copying from the whiteboard board.
- Seem to experience increased difficulty reading after an initial period of about 10 minutes.
- Keep moving their head or body position, or moving closer to or further away from the page.
- Read slowly and haltingly.
- Track with their finger.
- Yawn while reading.
