Dyslexia link to eyes

SCIENTISTS have found dyslexics have an unusual pattern of cells in their eyes that makes letters difficult to read.

Non-dyslexics have a circular arrangement of these cells, called cones, in one eye, which becomes dominant, and an oval pattern in the other, which creates a slightly less good image. During vision, the brain “knits together” the two images, but grants priority to the dominant eye.

In dyslexics, both eyes have a circular pattern of cones, which means each eye battles for dominance, causing confusion in the brain.
