Visual Stress Distortions

Dyspraxia, a co-ordination disorder also known as "Perceptuo-Motor Dysfunction", has been shown to co-exists with Visual Stress, Dyslexia and other neuro-perceptual difficulties. It is thought to affect up to 10% of the population and up to 2% severely. Statistically, it is likely that one child in every class of 30 children has dyspraxia. Precision colour filters have been shown to help many with dyspraxia overcome their depth perception difficulties.
