FAQs常見問題常见问题

Answers to common questions about Irlen Syndrome, screening, and Irlen Spectral Filters.有關艾蘭綜合症、篩檢及光敏感濾鏡眼鏡的常見問題。有关艾兰综合症、筛检及光敏感滤镜眼镜的常见问题。

What is Irlen Syndrome?什麼是艾蘭綜合症？什么是艾兰综合症？

Irlen Syndrome (Scotopic Sensitivity Syndrome) is a sensitivity of the visual-perceptual system to certain frequencies within the white light spectrum. Research indicates that over half of children and adults who find reading difficult, fatiguing, or stressful can be helped considerably with Irlen Spectral Filters.艾蘭綜合症（光敏感）是視覺感知系統對白光光譜中某些頻率過敏。研究顯示，超過一半覺得閱讀困難、疲累或壓力大的兒童及成人，可透過光敏感濾鏡眼鏡獲得顯著改善。艾兰综合症（光敏感）是视觉感知系统对白光光谱中某些频率过敏。研究显示，超过一半觉得阅读困难、疲累或压力大的儿童及成人，可透过光敏感滤镜眼镜获得显著改善。

Will it help me?這對我有幫助嗎？这对我有帮助吗？

Not every symptom needs to be present for the Irlen Method to help. If several symptoms persist despite eye checks, an Irlen screening is recommended. All clients should be seen by an optometrist or ophthalmologist before attending an Irlen clinic.並非需要出現所有症狀，艾蘭介入法才可能有助。若多項症狀在驗眼後仍然持續，建議進行艾蘭篩檢。所有人士在到訪 Irlen 診所前，應先接受眼科或視光檢查。并非需要出现所有症状，艾兰介入法才可能有助。若多项症状在验眼后仍然持续，建议进行艾兰筛检。所有人士在到访 Irlen 诊所前，应先接受眼科或视光检查。

What is the process involved?流程是怎樣的？流程是怎样的？

There are two testing sessions. The first determines whether you have Irlen Syndrome and identifies your Irlen Colored Overlay. The second (tint assessment) determines your precision colour for Irlen Spectral Filters. See our full Testing & Treatment page for details.共有兩次測試：第一次確認是否有艾蘭綜合症並確定光敏感顏色膠片；第二次（顏色鏡片選配評估）確定光敏感濾鏡眼鏡的顏色。詳情請參閱檢測與治療。共有两次测试：第一次确认是否有艾兰综合症并确定光敏感颜色胶片；第二次（颜色镜片选配评估）确定光敏感滤镜眼镜的颜色。详情请参阅检测与治疗。

If Irlen Colored Overlays show moderate to significant improvement, contact a qualified Irlen Diagnostician for a tint assessment. Contact our centre or browse our practitioner directory.若光敏感顏色膠片顯示中至顯著改善，請聯絡合資格光敏感／艾蘭診斷師進行顏色鏡片選配評估。聯絡本中心或查閱執行師名錄。若光敏感颜色胶片显示中至显著改善，请联络合资格光敏感／艾兰诊断师进行颜色镜片选配评估。联络本中心或查阅执行师名录。

Can I use glasses I already have?可以使用現有的眼鏡嗎？可以使用现有的眼镜吗？

Prescription lenses can be tinted provided they are made from CR-39 plastic, with no existing coatings or tints. Your Diagnostician can advise on suitable frames and lenses.現有鏡片如為 CR-39 塑料製成且無塗層或染色，可進行染色。光敏感／艾蘭診斷師可就合適的鏡架及鏡片提供建議。现有镜片如为 CR-39 塑料制成且无涂层或染色，可进行染色。光敏感／艾兰诊断师可就合适的镜架及镜片提供建议。

Is there research to support Irlen?有研究支持艾蘭介入法嗎？有研究支持艾兰介入法吗？

Yes. There are many peer-reviewed research articles. Studies include double-masked, randomised, placebo-controlled trials published in reputable journals. Research has linked Irlen Syndrome to timing imbalances in visual processing, with individually tailored coloured filters shown to reduce abnormal brain activity. See the Research section below, or visit irlen.com/research.有。大量同儕審查研究文章已發表，當中有雙盲、隨機分派、安慰劑對照試驗。研究顯示量身訂造有色濾鏡可減少異常腦部活動。詳見下方研究部分，或瀏覽 irlen.com/research。有。大量同侪审查研究文章已发表，当中有双盲、随机分派、安慰剂对照试验。研究显示量身订造有色滤镜可减少异常脑部活动。详见下方研究部分，或浏览 irlen.com/research。
