Visual Stress is the discomfort some people feel when viewing text for long periods of time. The symptoms are varied, including headaches, migraines (especially when workinmg at a computer), eyestrain, and words or characters apearing to jump or move around the screen.
Visualy stress is also known as the Meares-Irlen Syndrome, Scotopic Sinsitivity, or (in the USA) Irlen syndrome. Research has shown that around 20% of the population suffer to varying degrees of visual stress, and often, these symptoms can be alleviated through changing the background colour on which the text is superimposed.
Scientists have not yet agreed on the reasons behind the beneficial effects of reading through colour; only that they do exist, and that is is important to find the correct colour for each individual.
