Understanding visual stress

Are you considering a visual stress test for your child? Or you may already have a diagnosis…

Visual stress can significantly impact learning, focus, and daily life in both children and adults. It can cause headaches, eye strain and difficulties with reading, writing, concentrating, comprehension, and discomfort in a learning or work environment.

Join Dyslexia Sparks and Roger Smyth of Andrew & Rogers Optometrists for a FREE informative webinar exploring the impact of visual stress on learning – and what you can do to help. This session will give parents and educators insights into an issue affecting many children’s ability to read and learn comfortably.

What you’ll learn:

• What visual stress is and how it affects the brain
• When and why visual stress occurs
• Common physical and behavioural symptoms
• Typical triggers when learning
• How visual stress impacts reading and concentration
• Practical solutions, screening tools, and advice to support learners

Whether you're a parent, adult or educator, this session will provide knowledge to help identify and support those with visual stress.

There will be a live Q&A at the end of the presentation, where you can ask any further questions.
