LEICESTER, U.K. - Oct. 31, 2014 - PRLog -- Migraine attacks have many triggers including stress, particular foods and hormones.

Research has found that up to 40% of migraine attacks may be visually induced by flickering light and or ‘blue-light’ from LED’s including plasma screens, computer monitors, tablets and smart phones and is often made worse when viewing high-contrast patterns ('pattern-glare' particularly associated with black on white) and when reading.

Findings in the US undertaken recently by a team of neuroscientists, using brain imaging techniques, has shown that by suppressing certain hyper-excitable areas of the visual cortex in the brain reduces the likelihood of visual migraine when individually selected precision-tinted lenses are worn.

The lenses for the study were selected and prescribed using an Initiative Colorimeter. Symptoms of other neurological conditions such as Autism, ME, ME and Parkinson's have all been shown to reduce with the application of an optimum coloured precision-tint in front of the eyes.

A colorimeter is an instrument that allows over 120 000 specific colour options. It is used in conjunction with coloured overlays and a computer programme to provide specific precision tinted lenses of a particular Hue and Saturation that can make a dramatic reduction in symptoms. The same instrument is also used on the treatment of Visual Stress (also known as Visual Dyslexia or Meares-Irlen Syndrome) which often results in the movement of words when reading.

Visual Stress is also commonly linked to ‘Dyslexia’ – a term commonly used to refer to reading problems that are not due to poor teaching. Dyslexia is also associated with spelling difficulties and issues with visual memory and concentration.
