My 7 yo son was just tested and determined to have Irlen. He was somewhat uncooperative in the testing so the tester couldn't narrow down his perfect lens color, but she did recommend going with the basic color that seemed to help him and tweak the color later. DS is still saying he doesn't need them and he can read find without them :| What do i do if he wont wear them? do i even pay $5oo for glasses he may not wear? He has ADD like symptoms in school, and low(ish) academic performance despite being obviously wicked smart and having very high CoGat scores. I was so hopeful that this was going to be an easy fix and we would have a much better 2nd grade year than we had last year! I think we will just hope that bribery works for wearing the glasses and then he will see that it really does help! anyone else have this experience? or have a child with ADD like symptoms that were helped with the lenses? I need some success stories!
