chromagen lenses
I am curious if chromagen lenses are the ''colored'' lenses you are referring to. My son has some difficulties in school. He is thought of to be attention deficit by teachers and prinicpal. Medication was mentioned, but myself and husband are against that at this time. I had taken him to a learning center, which referred him to a Dr. that prescribes chromagen lenses. There was a definate difference in his reading. At the moment we are trying prescription contacts prior to making the commitment of chromagen lenses vs. chromagen contacts. I am looking for input from others on how they have worked in children using them. I have not researched dyslexia until the chromagen lenses have been mentioned. I was not aware of the many different characteristics fall under dyslexia. My son has more than I was aware of. I am in the process of requesting an IEP also. When this was mentioned, the principal was fast in responding that she did not feel it was necessary. Please let me know if you have anymore info on these colored lenses.
