I work for an optometrist in Texas and we are using a new technology called ChromaGen lenses. It is an FDA appoved aid for visual reading disorders associated with dyslexia.

ChromaGen uses a system of colored filters that have the appearance of neutral gray when worn. These filters can be incorporated into any existing prescription and helps re-synchronize and selectively change the wavelength of light going into both eyes. This change helps reduce the speed of the information in the brain�s neurological pathways. This slowing of the wavelengths allows for a more accurate synchronization of information in the visual pathway. When this happens, reading will become easier and allows for more effort for other tasks such as handwriting and spelling.

ChromaGen can improve the ease of reading as well as increase spelling skills and improve handwriting. Most of all it gives the individual self-confidence in their abilities to read and understand what they are reading. A University of Liverpool test showed a 35% increase in reading speed and accuracy employing 16 neutral gray filters.

I do not think many people know about it as only a few doctors are testing it. I'll put their website on the bottom here is anyone wants more info:
