“…Recently, an increasing number of studies have shown impairment in early-stage processing of visual information. This impairment is not only related to retina and eye diseases like glaucoma [17,21,[31][32][33] ambliopia and strabismus [34], melanoma-associated retinopathy [24,18,28], X-linked retinitis pigmentosa [26,35], congenital stationary night blindness [28], and neurological diseases as migraine [30] or Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy [29], but also to the neurocognitive or high-level of cortex processing disorders, such as schizophrenia [36,37], autism [38][39][40], working memory impairment [41] and dyslexia [25,[42][43][44][45].…”

a b s t r a c tWe review the concept of visual stress and its relation to neurological disease. Visual stress can occur from the observation of images with unnatural spatial structure and an excess of contrast energy at spatial frequencies to which the visual system is generally most sensitive. Visual stress can often be reduced using spectral filters, provided the colour is selected with precision to suit each individual. The use of such filters and their effects on reading speed are reviewed. The filters have been shown to benefit patients with a variety of neurological conditions other than reading difficulty, all associated with an increased risk of seizures.
