Abstract:
The way citation distortion can create unfounded authority in a subject area is exemplified in the paper "Coloured filters to reduce the symptoms of visual stress in children with reading delay", published early online in the Scandinavian Journal of Occupational Therapy. The diagnostic criteria for visual stress remain unclear, for which reason the prevalence figures should be viewed with scepticism. Randomized controlled trials with placebo control groups consistently show improvements in experimental and control lenses. This letter is a critical review of the evidence cited in the introduction to the paper. In the light of this the most likely explanation for their results is the placebo effect.
