Purpose: To discriminate the visual symptoms and signs of Meares-Irlen syndrome (MIS) and nonspecific dyslexiafrom other ophthalmologic diseases (NODs). Methods: Forty-five patients were enrolled. Thirty four of the patients with MIS whose symptoms improved withtinted lenses comprised MIS group. The other 11 patients whose reading difficulty improved with other oculartherapy and did not require tinted lenses comprised NODs group. The main symptoms causing dyslexia andassociated ocular diseases were evaluated. Results: The mean age was 17.9 ± 9.5 years in MIS group, and 19.3 ± 11.0 years in NODs group. In MIS group,the most common symptoms while reading were difficulty to move lines (85%), doubling (53%), and difficulty inbright condition (27%). On the other hand, blurring was the most common symptom in NODs group (45%). Theassociated ocular diseases in the two groups were refractive error (79% and 73%), dry eye (29% and 18%),and exophoria (6% and 27%), respectively. Conclusions: Doubling, difficulty to move lines, and difficulty in bright condition while reading are main specificsymptoms in MIS compared to nonspecific dyslexia from other ophthalmologic disorders.
