Dyslexia - it’s in the eyes
https://www.theguardian.com/society/...ie-in-the-eyes
Interesting article about the possible cause of dyslexia. It seems it’s about the arrangement of cells in the eyes rather than anything to do with the brain. |
Interesting article, thanks for posting.

Sounds interesting, I'll read it later :)
Spoiler: |
interesting read. I have dyslexia and it actually makes a lot of sense

Completely overselling their findings! I'm calling bull**** all over the place, I can't get hold of the original paper without giving them money though and cba to do that. If dyslexia can be cured by fixing a light receptor in one eye, dyslexic people would have worked out centuries ago that all they'd have to do is simply close one eye whilst reading!
Their article was only published today, I'm sure a load of other people would have called bull**** by this time next week. This just doesn't make sense to me. It wouldn't be the reason why they learn to talk later, why they struggle to learn or pronounce new words, or spelling etc. Dyslexia isn't only reading, their findings are only relevant to reading. |

They oversold it a bit though being the 'cure of dyslexia is all in the eyes'! Like thats just ignoring the very basic cognitive elements of dyslexia that happen through infancy even before the concept of reading (or walking) is understood by the child. |
