PS! daughter has just been tested for Irlen...coloured lenses...she is photosensitive...she needs them and she said wow the difference.She could now see things better than with her prescription distance reading glasses ...she is thrilled to bits because her eyes dont get so tired and aren't affected by glare so much. Hope they will help the eye-flicker etc too.Deborah
