Retinoblastoma Treatments

9 out of 10 cases of retinoblastoma are detected early and can be treated easily with laser treatment or freezing. In some cases, chemotherapy is required either before or after the treatment. If the tumour is large, brachytherapy or eye removal surgery may be required.

Visual Stress Test

To help you identify whether you suffer from the effects of Visual Stress, we’ve put together a basic Visual Stress Test. While not conclusive, it should help you identify early signs of the syndrome. Read the following text:

Are you suffering from visual stress?

  • Do the letters move?
  • Are the letters blurred, fuzzy or difficult to see?
  • Is the page too bright?
  • Does it hurt your eyes to look at the page?

If you answer YES to any of these questions, check out the overlay versions below. If you see an improvement in your ability to read it, you may suffer from visual stress.

If you feel that you or your child are suffering from the effects of irlen syndrome after taking this test, get in touch. We can offer advice and assistance to help you manage the effects of Visual Stress in order to help improve your reading and learning ability.

Can You Treat Visual Stress?

Coloured lenses assist sufferers of Visual Stress with reading. They help remove any glare the person receives from the page, reduce fatigue when reading and increase reading fluency and comprehension. Some say that the colour of the glasses is dependent on the individual and may change over time. This is why it is important to receive an individual specialist assessment from a professional.
