Visual dyslexia affects a large percentage of the
population, but is one of the most commonly
misdiagnosed problems in the medical community.
Essentially, it causes a difficulty in reading
and writing.
One of the most complex and difficult to diagnose
conditions is visual Dyslexia. Those with this
condition find reading and writing problematic.
This is one of those conditions that can afflict
someone for many years and still remain
undiagnosed.
There are many relevant facts that people do not
recognize about this condition. The symptoms are
often diagnosed as difficulty in reading and
while that does cover the broad spectrum, the
condition manifests in different ways for
different people.
Common symptoms include floating letters,
switched up letters and so on. The interesting
thing is that this condition stems from the brain
rather than the eyes.

Interesting Fact
The symptoms are varied, but all stem from the
basic difficulty with reading and writing. The
severity would depend upon the type of condition
experienced by the patient.
The symptoms are often difficult to describe and
are just categorized as difficulty with
reading however, they are actually much more
complex than that. For people who suffer from
this condition, similar letters such as t and p
are often switched, words seem to float around,
appear in a different order, and appear as their
mirror image.

Interesting Fact
Caretakers should watch out for symptoms like
difficulty reading, delayed speech learning,
frequent headaches and an unusual mismatch
between capabilities in other spheres and reading.
This condition is not exactly related to the eye,
but rather to the brain. The brain is unable to
interpret the letters as what they are and often
cannot find the right memory to identify them.
There are excellent tests which can clearly
diagnose this condition.

Interesting Fact
Though there is no cure as such, the condition
can be managed in a variety of ways.
There are many forms of this condition, differing
not just in terms of how severely they affect the
patient but also in terms of what, exactly, gets
misinterpreted. The most common form is the one
where the alphabets are difficult to interpret,
but there are also other forms where shapes or
numbers are difficult to interpret.
