The glare makes it difficult to follow the lines of text, and the lines themselves may appear to move. These are common difficulties associated with Visual Stress.<\/p>\n<p>Handwriting and rate of reading can improve when using the correct colour of tinted paper.<\/p>\n<p>Opticalm offers coloured paper notepads and recommends getting a full coloured page from a store near you to use for printed documents.
