Read the research behind a theory that attempts to understand Dyslexia among people. Dyslexia is a disorder that generally makes it harder to read content on the whole. It is estimated that Dyslexia currently affects between 5% to 17% of the world’s population on the whole. That proves that the disorder is a significant challenge that people will need to understand.
Eye issues may be directly related to dyslexia.
Eye dominance issues may be to blame for Dyslexia and how people learn to read. A dominant eye might make it easier for younger students to learn some basic reading skills. Dyslexic students seem to have artificial eye dominance that may be to blame. Further research will identify whether that really is the source of the problem itself.
Dyslexia, a disorder causes a general difficulty in reading, pronouncing, and putting meanings to words, affects somewhere between 5 to 17 percent of the population.

Key takeaways
- Dyslexia has confounded both parents and teachers for years now. Research has honed in on several important details that have to be examined.
- Dyslexia actually affects between 5 to 14 percent of the population in all. That is a significant factor and researchers are working to understand why too.
- Researchers seem to be confident in the results of the information that they publish. Surprisingly, research focused on Dyslexia point to problems other than 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.
