The role of Visual factors in dyslexia has been the subject of controversy for many years. Recently, it has been claimed that some cases of dyslexia benefit from visual treatments, such as eye exercises, patching, and coloured glasses. Dyslexia and Vision summarises the main visual factors that have been claimed to be associated with dyslexia and examines the evidence relating to these claims. Throughout the book, an attempt is made to adopt an "evidence based" approach, concentrating on objective scientific evidence and noting where this is lacking. This analysis reveals which visual factors are associated with dyslexia and notes that although some visual treatments may be appropriate in certain cases, visual treatments are not cures for dyslexia. Dyslexia and Vision is written for people who do not have an expert knowledge of eyes and vision, primarily for teachers, educational psychologists, and paediatricians. For the more technically minded, appendices are included which list the scientific publications supporting the statements made in the body of the book.
