I have the irlense glasses and overlayse and I still get bad headaches every day. It's better with them on for light sensitivity. But i wouldn't even dream of reading a single page in a book. As i type this i' not reading it. I DEFINITELY have irlen syndrome. Do I just need to get my glasses adjusted? I've tried diet changes as well.
