Dyslexia may be explained, at least in part, by a strange area of research now underway too. A simple eye deformity may be at the root of the Dyslexia problem itself. At least that’s what these scientists are saying.
A simple eye deformity may be the cause of dyslexia, but more research is needed to understand.
Eye issues have been connected to eye issues.
According to Dr. Albert Le Floch and Dr Guy Ropars, lack of a dominant eye may be to blame for the onset of Dyslexia. Their explanation states that both eyes working together, but without dominance, create an after image. This after image causes the difficulty
While it is doubtful that this research tells the whole story, it is an interesting find. There is much research that points to visual abnormalities in dyslexics. But the same could be said of phonological abnormalities or spatial difficulties. It is a complicated subject, to say the least. Which is why it is important to use a system that works on all of these areas rather than a single approach.
This research does validate some of the key principles of the Learning Success System. The system has always put a focus on mixed dominance, visual tracking, and proprioceptive exercises which help the brain establish dominance.
For the study, 60 participants’ (only half were dyslexic) eyes were examined. Non-dyslexic people had spots that revealed one eye was dominant over the other. While the spots in each eye found in dyslexics indicated that no eye was dominant.

Key takeaways
- More than 700 million people in the world have dyslexia.
- People with dyslexia may not have a dominant eye.
- Not having a dominant eye can create confusion in the brain.

Is your child struggling in school?
Get your free personalized learning roadmap
You describe what you see at home. We turn it into a plan you start this week.
- Answer 5 short questionnaires about what you already notice, 30–45 minutes at your own kitchen table
- Your child sits no test and gets no score: nothing to schedule, nothing for them to dread
- You do the answering, the AI does the writing, and a person reviews it before it reaches you
- Access all 40+ courses instantly: reading, math, focus, processing and more, with new ones added regularly
Why we use AI, plainly: it writes from a knowledge base our team maintains and audits. We work through it line by line and pull anything the evidence stops supporting. The roadmap you get on Tuesday reflects what we corrected on Monday, and a human still reads it before you do.
Your school district must evaluate your child free of charge if you ask in writing, whatever your income and whatever the outcome (US, 34 CFR 300.111 and 300.301(b)). That route takes time and answers a different question than you do. This one starts today, from what you already know.
Your answers stay yours. We do not sell your personal information, and we do not hand identifiable assessment data to outside AI companies to train their models.
A screener is a starting point, not a diagnosis. If your child might need formal accommodations (an IEP or 504 plan), or you suspect a vision, hearing or medical cause, pursue a professional evaluation too. That is the only route to those supports.
