However, both the existence of SSS and the usefulness of colored filters are controversial (Blaskey et al. Colored filters are intended to relieve these issues and improve reading performance. Individuals with a diagnosis of SSS may have difficulty fluently reading a text or may quickly become fatigued while reading. The theory underlying colored overlays as a treatment is that many cases of dyslexia are attributable to SSS. Colored overlays are promoted by various groups and commonly referred to as the “Irlen Method” (Irlen 1991 Sawyer et al. Colored overlays have become so common, they are now considered an approved accommodation for standardized tests in several states including California, New Mexico, Massachusetts, Nevada, and Oklahoma (“Published Research,” n.d., para.1). This claim may be because visual stress often co-occurs with dyslexia (Singleton and Trotter 2005 Singleton and Henderson 2007). 1999 Rickelman & Henk, 1990 “What is Irlen Syndrome,” n.d.). Colored overlays are claimed to alleviate visual stress and improve symptoms commonly related to dyslexia such as low reading rate, accuracy, and comprehension (Evans et al.

Colored overlays are plastic reading sheets tinted with color and placed over text (Wilkins 2003). Colored lenses are lenses tinted with color and worn in eyeglasses. There are different forms of colored filters including lenses and overlays.
