This book provides the first general and unified theory of visual
discomfort. Based on the author's observation that people find
certain visual stimuli uncomfortable--and that these same stimuli
induce seizures in patients with photosensitive epilepsy--the book
offers fascinating insights into a variety of visual stresses that
arise from design, reading, lighting, television, and VDU
terminals. A range of techniques for preventing and treating visual
discomfort--from color therapy to precision tinting of spectacle
lenses--are described in detail. Students and researchers in
perceptual psychology, visual science, neurology, and optometry
will want to read this pioneering new work.
This book provides an overview of the research surrounding the
relevance of visual factors for those who struggle with reading.
Visual interventions that have been advocated as helping with
reading include spectacles that simply correct refractive errors
(e.g., long-sightedness), coloured overlays (sheets placed on the
page) and coloured lenses, vision therapy, and computer games. This
book explains the rationale behind these interventions and
discusses the evidence supporting them. Clear advice is given in
plain English to those wondering if these interventions will be
helpful.Vision, Reading Difficulties, and Visual Stress, 2nd
Edition draws together disparate research findings in a range of
neurological disorders where vision is compromised by cortical
hyperexcitability. Optometrists, orthoptists, ophthalmologists,
educational psychologists, teachers, and vision scientists will
find this book to be an interesting resource as well as students in
these disciplines and parents of children who struggle with
reading.
