彩色滤光片用于治疗Irlen综合征（IS），这是一种有争议的疾病，被认为是造成相当大比例阅读困难的原因。先前，我们发现Irlen彩色滤光片对712岁学龄儿童的阅读困难没有任何短期缓解作用。在这里，我们在原始样本的一个子集中测试了彩色滤光片是否显示出长期使用的好处。我们测量了18名被诊断为IS的儿童使用过滤器和不使用过滤器的阅读率，他们已经使用过滤器一年了，并将他们的阅读能力的进步与10名阅读能力差的控制儿童进行了比较。在使用彩色滤镜时，irlen组的阅读速度并没有提高，而且与对照组相比，在阅读进度方面也没有表现出不成比例的增长。我们得出的结论是，即使使用了1年，过滤网对阅读也没有好处。
Colored filters are used to treat Irlen syndrome (IS), a controversial disorder posited to be the cause of a substantial proportion of reading difficulties. Previously, we found that Irlen colored filters do not produce any short-term alleviation of reading difficulties in schoolchildren aged 712. Here, we tested whether colored filters show benefits with longer-term use, in a subset of the original sample. We measured reading rate with and without filters in 18 children diagnosed with IS, who had been using the filters for 1 year, and compared the progression of their reading ability across the year against 10 poor-reader control children. The Irlen-treatment group did not read any faster when using their colored filter, and showed no disproportionate gain in reading progress across the year compared to controls. We conclude that Irlen filters do not benefit reading, even after 1 year of use.
