The full diagnostic process consists of screening to check if a client suffers from Irlen
syndrome and may lead on to a diagnostic tinting session.

Irlen East has a network of Irlen qualified screeners throughout Eastern England screening in their local area. A tinting consultation can then be arranged and the diagnostician will travel to the client's school/college or home by prior arrangement.

Irlen screeners and diagnosticians are from the educational, medical and/or psychological professions and have undertaken extensive training with the Irlen Institute.

Helen Irlen was the first to identify and develop overlays and also tinted lenses to treat the visual perceptual difficulties associated with what is now internationally known as Irlen syndrome. Irlen lenses can be safely worn ALL the time and DO NOT colour what the wearer sees.
