Missing Link in Functional Illiteracy!?

Why have the, so called, "powers that be" been expediently ignoring the 50% of age diverse experiencing "Visual Dyslexia" for decades ?
Expediency, denial and refusal to implement Mass Screening of Children!
Apart from omitting mass screening for diagnosing the most common visual impairments resulting in functional and digital illiteracy linked to "School Myopia" and in the 21st Digital Century eye-strain and binocular "vision stress" driving progressive School Myopia and asthenopic disease presenting in DSE user operators in education and the workplace ?
In regard to Return on Investment the economic and social costs of failure to do anything far outweighs the minimal cost of any reasonable and/or effective intervention by comparison with expediently ignoring the risk.
2018 WCAG 2.1 also saw the introduction of "Colour Contrast Validation" for Websites acknowledging the scale or degree of "Colour Contrast Sensitivity" not only in those with preexisting visual impairments, Neurodiverse or Dyslexics but, neurotypical population.
However, regardless of there being a simple self-administered on-line app to assess the risk of Vision Stress or Screen Fatigue in up to '90' seconds for some '20' years there remains significant resistance to adopt even to the point of denial that one exists preventing collaboration with any University in completion of "Proof of Concept" Research.
However, you may try, comment and share the original "Score My Screen" here free of charge unless you would like to make a donation to our ongoing research leading to a longitudinal "Medical Clinical Trial".

1 周Nigel Dupree does this mean most of the kids leaving school as illiterates have a visual deficit problem? It didn't look like Tom Cruise went for any visual therapy to improve his reading at 22. https://www.dyslexiafriend.com/2024/08/dyslexia-is-just-label-tom-cruise.html Your insightful comment will be appreciated.
