视觉处理缺陷在阅读困难中的潜在作用引起了公众的注意，因为有很大比例的阅读障碍儿童患有感知功能障碍，目前被称为Meares-Irlen综合征（MISViS）。先前的一项研究表明，涉及视觉记忆和辨别力的视觉感知测量预测阅读成绩的独立方差[J.学习。禁用。28（1995）216]提供了一个基础，以检查它们与MISViS诊断标准的关系。本研究调查了36名8 - 10岁儿童的这些视觉加工特征，其中一半儿童有阅读困难。Irlen筛查人员对儿童进行了MISViS评估;每组约有一半的参与者被确定为阳性。标准化视觉处理测试的同时表现表明，虽然MISViS的阳性诊断并不指示阅读能力，也不特别指示由沃森和柳树鉴定的视觉处理缺陷亚型[J. Learn.禁用。28（1995）216]，MISViS可以指示潜在地与视觉注意力低效率相关的视觉处理困难。
The potential role of visual processing deficits in reading difficulty was brought to public attention by claims that a large proportion of children with dyslexia suffer from a perceptual dysfunction currently referred to as Meares-Irlen syndrome (MISViS). A previous study showing that visual perceptual measures involving visual memory and discrimination predict independent variance in reading achievement [J. Learn. Disabil. 28 (1995) 216] provides a basis to examine their relationships with the diagnostic criteria of MISViS. This study examined these visual processing characteristics in 36 eight- to ten-year-old children, half of whom were experiencing reading difficulty. Children were assessed for MISViS by Irlen screeners; approximately half of the participants in each group were positively identified. Concurrent performance on standardized visual processing tests showed that while a positive diagnosis of MISViS is not indicative of reading ability, nor in particular of a visual-processing deficit subtype identified by Watson and Willows [J. Learn. Disabil. 28 (1995) 216], MISViS can indicate visual processing difficulties potentially related to visual attention inefficiency.
