Frequently Asked Questions
What is VisionHub and how is it different from The Partially Sighted Society?
VisionHub is an initiative by The Partially Sighted Society that supports people without sight loss but who experience visual processing difficulties, such as Irlen Syndrome, visual stress, or dyslexia. While The Partially Sighted Society supports people with sight loss, VisionHub focuses on how the brain processes visual information.
Do I need a diagnosis to access your services?
No formal diagnosis is required. If you or your child is experiencing difficulties that may be related to visual processing, we’re here to help guide and support you through the next steps.
Are your services free?
No. All VisionHub services are chargeable. We are a not-for-profit service, and all fees go toward maintaining and improving the support we provide.
What types of services do you offer?
We offer a range of support, including: Educational resources and visual aids, Colourimetry testing for visual stress, coloured overlay assessments, visual stress and processing screenings and advice and referrals for Irlen assessments.
Who can benefit from VisionHub services?
Our services are suitable for children and adults who experience visual stress, difficulty reading, light sensitivity, headaches from screens or paper, or have been diagnosed with dyslexia or Irlen Syndrome.
What is visual stress, and how do I know if I have it?
Visual stress is a condition where the brain struggles to process visual information, often leading to symptoms like glare from white paper, movement of words on the page, and discomfort when reading. We can provide screening and assessments to identify if this may be affecting you.
How do I book an appointment?
You can book an appointment by calling us, emailing our team, or using our online booking form, above. Our staff will be happy to discuss your needs and suggest the right service for you.
What is colourimetry testing?
Colourimetry testing involves identifying specific coloured overlays or lenses that may help reduce visual stress, improve reading comfort, and reduce symptoms such as headaches and eye strain.
