The intuitive colorimeter MK.3

The Intuitive Colorimetery Mk. 3 is a new apparatus for mixing coloured light. Colours exist in three subjective dimensions: hue (colour) saturation (depth or strength of colour) and brightness. Many shades can be produced by mixing primary colours in various amounts, but it can be difficult and time-consuming to mix lights to match a particular shade. The Intuitive Colorimeter overcomes these problems.

Intuitive colorimetry procedure

 

The process of performing a colorimetry test begins with an assessment to identify visual discomfort and its impact on activities like reading or focusing. Using a specialized device, known as an intuitive colorimeter, a series of colored lights or filters is systematically presented to the individual. The patient provides feedback on how each color affects their comfort, clarity, and perception. Adjustments are made to refine the hue, saturation, and brightness until the optimal combination is found. This customized color is then applied to lenses or overlays, tailored to the individual’s specific needs. The entire process is non-invasive and typically takes around 30-60 minutes.

It is a personalised approach to using coloured overlays, lenses, or lighting to alleviate visual stress and improve reading, focus, and comfort. It’s commonly used to help with conditions such as Irlen Syndrome or Meares-Irlen Syndrome.

It involves testing a range of colours to identify the shade that most effectively reduces visual discomfort. The chosen colour can be applied to lenses or overlays, helping filter out problematic light wavelengths that may trigger symptoms like headaches, eye strain, or difficulty reading.

People experiencing visual stress, migraines, dyslexia, or attention-related difficulties often benefit from intuitive colorimetry. It’s also helpful for individuals with sensory sensitivities or conditions such as autism or ADHD.

Research supports the use of color filters for reducing visual stress in certain individuals, though the effectiveness varies from person to person. Studies indicate that carefully tailored colors can improve comfort and performance, particularly in reading tasks. However, results depend on proper assessment and customization.
