Coloured Overlay Assessment
Coloured Overlays help to reduce The Perceptual Distortions
Scientific research has shown that the use of coloured overlays can help some children and adults who suffers from visual stress to read better. It was found that coloured overlays help to reduce the perceptual distortions of text which reduces discomfort when reading and enables more fluent reading.
