Hi, 

You've been given the name of the company in another response. I did buy one set of these and they do help more or less, depending on the person. For myself two of the sheets helped me read, though I don't consider myself dyslexic and have never had trouble reading. The background just helped to focus more easily on the words. So it does seem logical for it to help some people with more serious eye-nerve-reading problems.

Do any of you have  information about this?  Or can you refer me to a another source for  information?  I did not find this issue discussed in the article about  dyslexia in Focus on Basics.
