Colored overlays raise reading scores according to research and the Journal of Learning Disabilities.

The Journal of Learning Disabilities said, "After one week, those-that received the correct colored transparencies-gained an Average of 6.6 months in reading accuracy and 19.35 months in reading comprehension."

Research in the The Reading Teacher Journal said, "Using colored overlays help eliminate (light) wave-lengths before they reach the retina and the brain. As a result, visual information may be more effectively analyzed."

The American Optometric Association says that visual symptoms and distortion may be relieved by using colored overlays.

Further, research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, v2 n3 p498-515 Jul-Sep 2008, showed that ASD children who used colored overlays increased their reading speed.
