This syndrome is largely undiagnosed because:
- It is not an obvious problem
- It is not identified by standard visual and medical examinations or by educational and physiological assessments.
- Sufferers think that the visual perceptual distortions they experience are “normal”. They assume that everyone else perceives the page and the environment as they do.
Who is affected?
- Up to 12 % of the general population.
- Up to 50% of those who are dyslexic, and 33% who are autistic, suffer from learning difficulties or have ADD/ADHD.
- Many individuals affected by head trauma, strokes, whiplash, chronic fatigue or migraine.
