Abstract:
Visual stress is a condition characterised by symptoms of eyestrain, headaches and distortions of visual perception when reading text. The symptoms are frequently alleviated with spectral filters and precision tinted ophthalmic lenses. Visual stress is thought to arise due to cortical hyperexcitability and is associated with a range of neurological conditions. Cortical hyperexcitability is known to occur following stroke. The case presented describes visual stress symptoms resulting from stroke, subsequently managed with spectral filters and precision tinted ophthalmic lenses. The case also highlights that the spectral properties of the tint may need to be modified if the disease course alters.
