Dyslexia is a medical condition that affects
8 to 10 percent of people worldwide. It makes the reading
experience difficult, because when they read, they see a mirror
image appearing on top of the text on the page. A dyslexic
person has two dominant eyes that send two different streams of
information to the brain simultaneously, creating confusion and
mirror images that disturb the reading process.
Lexilight is a device
that aims at bringing relief to those who suffer from dyslexia.
It corrects the issue by enabling the brain to process the
information as if it came from the single dominant eye, using a
pulsed and modulated light that reduces the mirroring effect.
The specific light waves emitted by the LEDs in the lamp can be
customized to match the vision profile of each user. The device
can adjust several LED parameters, including the refresh rate,
to drive one eye to take precedence over the other to reduce the
mirroring effect.
