It is the responsibility of the customer to ensure that other causes of visual symptoms are ruled out by having a full eye examination before using coloured overlays or lenses. It is also the responsilbility of the customer to ensure that the correct colour is ordered. ReadEZ do not make any guarantees that an overlay or tinted lens will relieve visual symptoms and goods may not be returned simply on the basis that symptoms are not relieved.

Due to variations in the colour reproduction of differen computer screens, the colours shown on the website may not be identical to the colours of the overlays or tinted lenses. Customers are advised to consult a ReadEZ practitioner to determine the precise ReadEZ colour (if any) that will minimise their symptoms.
