  3. A copy of the prescription with pupil distance listed on the prescription form must come with the eye glasses.

Before screening for the Irlen Syndrome, medical and visual system problems should be addressed. Glasses should not be tinted or coated. Please check the requirements for lenses that can be tinted.
