An oft cited research paper found no benefits from their coloured lenses, but in fact there is a growing body of research indicating that coloured lenses and overlays do help some people with dyslexia.

As described by the California based Irlen company, it is a perceptual processing disorder resulting from visual stress that impedes reading but can be treated with coloured lenses. You may have heard about something called the Irlen Syndrome. Style and font problems: Small fonts, ornate fonts, and insufficient spacing between letters, words and lines can all impede reading Sensitivity to light: Visual stress resulting from different lights sources can result in headaches, migraines, sore eyes and fatigue.

The result is a pair of glasses with a high-tech look in white soft-touch plastic. The patented and tested paramedical solution has an efficacy rating of 95%.Įquipped with moving liquid in the rings around the eyes, both along the frontal axis (right/left) and sagittal axis (front/back), the glasses recreate the horizon line to resolve the conflict between the senses that causes the affliction.įor the design of the glasses, Citroën called on 5.5, a collective design studio based in Paris, which has successfully incorporated the Brand’s fresh, simple and ergonomic style. SEETROËN glasses use Boarding RingTM technology developed by the start-up of the same name based in the Var in the south of France. Having learned of a solution initially developed for sailors, Citroën decided to extend its use to the general public – on boats as well as in cars and buses and on planes – by creating the SEETROËN glasses. One in three people experience motion sickness symptoms at least once in their life. While unable to prevent high tides or traffic jams, they do provide a solution for this widespread complaint (also known as kinetosis) that affects over 30 million Europeans in a chronic manner.
