Abstract
Purpose: In this study we investigated improvement degree of reading ability of the student who was in a condition of dyslexia symptoms by wearing $ChromaGen^{TM}$ lenses. Methods: After wearing the $ChromaGen^{TM}$ lens for 3 months, the dyslexia symptoms corrective lens, 52 students who had suspected symptom of dyslexia were asked questions, and we measured the improvement degree of reading ability of the student. Results: The $ChromaGen^{TM}$ wearer read 110.26${\pm}$22.07 words in 1 minute, and naked yeses or glass wearing students read 106.42${\pm}$22.70 words. Reading ability of the student having suspected symptom of dyslexia were measured after wearing $ChromaGen^{TM}$ for 3 months. The results showed improvement reading ability of 3.70${\pm}$0.29 (p=0.01, t=2.26), 4.50%${\pm}$0.10 (p=0.01, t=2.78) for $ChromaGen^{TM}$ wearer with statistical difference. A survey on the satisfaction of reading improvement with wearing $ChromaGen^{TM}$ showed that 88.4% of questioned person answered wearing $ChromaGen^{TM}$ had improved their dyslexia symptoms. Conclusions: With statisical significance (p<0.05). this study suggests that $ChromaGen^{TM}$ lens has an effect on improving reading speed of dyslexia patient. We know from these results that the $ChromaGen^{TM}$ lens which is used to dyslexia had an effect to improvement of reading speed for dyslexia. And the results of this study is statistically different (p<0.05).
