The objectives of this pilot study were to investigate the effectiveness of Irlen filters for improving comfort and reading performance and to determine whether traditional optometric intervention would be effective in relieving the symptoms commonly reported by people seeking help through the use of Irlen filters. Thirty subjects were included in the study: 12 males and 18 females. The ages of the subjects ranged from 9 to 51 (mean = 23.6). They were randomly placed in either an Irlen filter treatment group (n = 11), a vision therapy treatment group (n = 11), or a control group (n = 8). Pre- and posttesting on all subjects included a vision evaluation, reading and intelligence testing, the Irlen scotopic sensitivity screening test, and a symptom questionnaire. Results revealed that subjects in both treatment groups were more comfortable after treatment, although only the vision therapy group showed improvement in vision functioning. The subjects in the Irlen filter group did not show any significant gains in reading rate, word recognition in context, or comprehension.
这项初步研究的目的是调查爱尔丽恩滤光片在改善舒适度和阅读表现方面的有效性，并确定传统验光干预措施是否能有效缓解那些通过使用爱尔丽恩滤光片寻求帮助的人所普遍报告的症状。该研究纳入了30名受试者：12名男性和18名女性。受试者的年龄在9岁至51岁之间（平均年龄 = 23.6岁）。他们被随机分为爱尔丽恩滤光片治疗组（n = 11）、视觉疗法治疗组（n = 11）或对照组（n = 8）。对所有受试者进行的测试前和测试后评估包括视力评估、阅读和智力测试、爱尔丽恩暗适应敏感性筛查测试以及一份症状问卷。结果显示，两个治疗组的受试者在治疗后都感觉更舒适，不过只有视觉疗法组的视力功能有所改善。爱尔丽恩滤光片组的受试者在阅读速度、语境中的单词识别或阅读理解方面均未显示出任何显著提高。
