This book is about visual problems that can make reading difficult for people who do not have eye diseases or low vision. The visual probems that are most often associated with reading difficulties are binocular instability, accommodative anomalies, and a condition called visual stress (Meares-Irlen syndrome) in which text may appear to move and blur, resulting in eye-strain and headaches. These visual problems that can contribute to reading difficulties often become evident at school but can persist into adult life. The book describes a clinical protocol that can be used to identify and treat these conditions.

David Challinor interviews the authors of Vision and Reading Difficulties, Bruce Evans, director of research at the Institute of Optometry, professor Arnold Wilkins, director of Visual Perception Unit at the University of Essex, and Peter Allen, principal lecturer and director of clinics at Anglia Ruskin University: WATCH VIDEO
