Since I was led to believe that one of the vision tests performed on me
was for migraine, i posted in there a few days ago. Someones mentioned
scotopic sensitivity, and that's got me thinking about contrast problems.
First the scotopic sensitivy, is visual stress, or irlen syndrome. Does
the thought about black text not being flat on a page with an orange
halo around it, sound indicitive? Is it possible for this to just be
temporary, or only appear at certain times? Any explanatinons as to why
it would only affect paper and not say a computer monitor?
Onto contrast though, the person I was talking to in the migraine group,
suggested that the solution to that is basically, a pair of what could
be considered sunglasses.
Im then reminded about the fact that sunglasses actually do help me to
see a lot clearer, ie, car number plates, leaves on trees, shapes,
depth, clouds become a lot more 3D, I can see every pattern in them.
The sunglasses do make everything become richer, bolder, and more
defined, things dont seem "washed out".
If that makes any sense.
Any thoughts about this?
thanks

My daughter has scotopic sensitivity. It often goes along with
dyslexia and she is also dyslexic. She was given a coloured perspex
sheet for use at school. She was to put it over the page to help
reading. She was tested to see which colour was the best for her and
given the right sheet. I have to say that she didn't find it very
useful and she abandoned it after a while. She did find it useful for
things to be printed on coloured paper rather than bright white.
Maybe the computer you are using has a less bright background.
