This survey research systematically collects
Information on the long term effects of Irlen tinted
lenses, from a specific diagnosed scotopic sensitive
population. The survey used is based on Whiting's
survey (1988), with variations and extensions made to
increase information attained. Although the main focus
of the survey is reading and related academic skills,
other areas presenting new directions for further
research, have also been included. 306 diagnosed
scotopic sensitive Individuals, who had been using
prescribed Irlen tinted lenses for a minimum of six
months, were surveyed. 82.8 percent of the respondents
indicated that they (or their child) had experienced
great benefits from wearing Irlen tinted lenses. 70.1
percent Indicated that the greatest benefit had been in
the area of reading. Cross-tabulations were made with
length of time wearing the lenses, gender, and whether
the respondent was filling in the questionnaire for
themselves or for their child. The results of this
descriptive research support Whiting's (1988), earlier
findings. A review of the available literature and the
Implications of these findings are discussed.
