The Opticalm™ Visual Stress Intuitive Colorimetry Assessment Process follows the rigid clinical protocol as outlined by the College of Optometrists in the United Kingdom; supported by the International Institute of Colorimetry; and published in the Journal of Ophthalmic & Physiological Optics.   
 
1. Full eye examination by an optometrist
Before an assessment with Opticalm, clients must see an optometrist for full Vision Assessment to investigate eye health, refractive error and other vision related conditions that may be contributing to symptoms. If a new prescription is required, clients must come to the assessment wearing the new prescription. This is especially important if a prism has been added to the prescription for vision therapy purposes. 
 
2. Opticalm™ Visual Processing and Colorimetry Assessment
This assessment is designed to determine if Visual Stress is contributing and to identify the assistive tools and accommodations required to alleviate them. 
 
The process includes the following: 
	
Review and evaluation of symptoms; 
	
Identification of sensitivities and perceptual distortions using scientifically designed tests; 
	
Identification of a precision filter lens colour using FDA approved Intuitive Colorimeter device; 
	
Confirmation of lens selection effectiveness under different lighting conditions, environments, & tasks;
