COLOUR THERAPY ASSESSMENTS

There are two forms of colour therapy available and it is usual for a patient to begin with coloured overlays and have used them successfully before moving on to the more comprehensive colorimetry.

Before exploring either of these options, patients are required to first have recently completed an eye examination to first rule out more common ocular problems.

COLOURED OVERLAY

The first and most simple method of assessing the effectivity of colour therapy for a patient by determining if coloured filters are beneficial.

Coloured Overlay Assessment: £45.00

COLORIMETRY

This second and most accurate method is for patient who have already used overlays and results in precisely tinted spectacle lenses.
