Closed petition Children with Irlem syndrome and dyslexia to recieve glasses with coloured filters free on the NHS

Closed on

The NHS should provide glasses with coloured Ienses free of charge to children with dyslexia and Irlen syndrome to enable them to read (and read their own writing on white paper). The lenses also enable them to read computer screens, classroom interactive whiteboards and television screens without text distortion. These lenses are as essential as providing glasses for children who are short sighted and will have a positive impact on their ability to learn without headaches and frustration.
