This is excellent advice. Thank you.

you walk around and maybe change the lighting conditions by going to different
rooms: a dimly light room, a room with incandescent light, a room with
fluorescent light, etc. I recently got a new pair of lenses and it took about 3
hours to find the right colors. My diagnostician also has Irlen syndrome so she
was very understanding. A good diagnostician will be patient with you, at least
in my opinion. Don't be in a hurry. If something isn't right, even if it is
something subtle, don't be afraid to speak up. I don't know about you, but I
have to travel a fairly long distance, and I don't want to have to go back if I
can help it.

and wasn't at all "with it" when I got tested last time. I totally forgot how
important it is to be sure the lens color is a good match for more than reading.
Now that I think about it, I forgot to look around the room at different
distances, to check the color in different amounts and types of light and to
walk around to see how the color works for more than trying to see how well I
could see the chart on the wall. I am going to write this all down and take it
with me as a checklist next time I go. Hopefully, being more organized will
help me to get the best lens color in just one more try.

also spend some time holding the lenses looking around the room to make sure the
environment is more comfortable to look at. It's kind of hard to be specific.
It's just a feeling. I usually just know when it is right. I hope this helps.
