Can adults be affected?

Yes. Although some people seem to “grow out” of the condition, many do not. The distortions may be less pronounced when reading becomes fluent and text ceases to be a meaningless collection of confusing shapes. Sadly, visual perceptual distortion is often not recognised in children and many sufferers enter adulthood without ever having been treated.

As people get older and text is not such a meaningless group of words, Visual Stress can be less pronounced, but still there. In a lot of cases the syndrome goes undiagnosed and untreated until adult life.
