Visual Processing Expert
Ian Jordan FBDO CL works with patients who have visual processing problems such as dyslexia, tinnitus, hearing and balance, and offer helps with alteration of vision through the use of spectacles and colour. The consultation includes evaluation using the Orthoscopics System, which uses computerised assessment and prescribing instruments. Using this system, the optician will be able to determine the patient’s optimum colour response. This optimum response is then integrated with the effects of differing illumination and then lenses with the patient’s optimised colour filtering can be prescribed. The coloured lenses will at least minimise and usually eliminate the effects of visual perceptual difficulties. Treatment is very successful and results can often be immediate.
For more information, please visit Ian Jordan’s websites www.visualdyslexia.com and www.orthoscopics.com.
