ORTHOSCOPICS

Visual Dyslexia is the name given to a group of symptoms caused by malfunctions in the eye/brain communication chain. A person with visual dyslexia may experience a range of symptoms from reading and writing problems to major perceptual difficulties. They will often under-achieve in academic work or in social environments, self-esteem is lowered, and anti-social behaviour is common. Symptoms are often unrecognised and are common in the classroom.

The Orthoscopics system consists of computerised assessment and prescribing instruments. They provide an unparalleled set of tools to enable us to determine the patient’s optimum colour response together with the effects of differing illumination. With this data, lenses can be prescribed incorporating optimised colour filtering. This will at least minimise and often eliminate the effects of visual dyslexia. Other conditions such as migraines and headaches have also been alleviated by the Orthoscopics system.

D.A. Seaman is currently the only practice in Norfolk to offer the unique Orthoscopics System.
