ReadEz Testing for Visual Stress & Reading Difficulties – Berry, NSW (Shoalhaven & South Coast)

Do you or your child experience headaches, eye strain, moving or blurry words, or difficulty concentrating while reading? These symptoms may be associated with visual stress, sometimes referred to as Irlen Syndrome or Meares-Irlen Syndrome.

At Rose Optometry in Berry, we provide ReadEz testing to assess whether visual stress may be contributing to reading discomfort or reduced reading performance. We see patients from across Berry, Gerringong, Nowra, Vincentia, Huskisson, Kiama, and the wider Shoalhaven and South Coast region.

ReadEz testing is a specialised visual assessment that evaluates how visual processing and contrast sensitivity may be affecting reading. In some cases, coloured overlays or precision tinted lenses may improve reading comfort, fluency, and concentration.

If a benefit is identified during assessment, we can arrange custom lens tinting in-practice at Rose Optometry Berry, providing a tailored option for patients who experience relief from visual stress symptoms.

Who may benefit from ReadEz testing?

  • Children experiencing reading difficulties or visual discomfort

  • Students with suspected dyslexia or learning-related reading challenges

  • Adults with eye strain, headaches, or fatigue during reading or screen use

  • Patients struggling with sustained reading tasks at school, work, or university

ReadEz testing is not part of a standard eye examination and is completed following a comprehensive eye health and vision assessment at Rose Optometry.

Visual stress and reading support in the South Coast region

Visual discomfort can often go undetected in routine eye checks. In some cases, vision-related factors may contribute to reading difficulty, particularly in children and students with high visual demands.

If you are based in Berry, Shoalhaven Heads, Gerringong, Kiama, Nowra, or surrounding South Coast communities, Rose Optometry provides local access to advanced vision assessment and personalised care.

To discuss whether ReadEz testing is suitable, contact Rose Optometry in Berry to arrange an appointment.
