Hi
The work that we do is based on Medical research Council research into the
causes of visual discomfort associated with migraines and Epilepsy,
particularly problems arising from light sourcesm, flurescent or vdu screen
and colour.
Although we apply the results primarily to dyslexic students.
I would be interested in discussing the issue further.
Get back to me.
