In people with the condition, light receptor cells are arranged in matching patterns in both eyes, which may confuse the brainFrench scientists claim they may have found a physiological, and seemingly treatable, cause for dyslexia hidden in tiny light-receptor cells in the human eye. “Our observations lead us to believe that we indeed found a potential cause of dyslexia,” said the study’s co-author, Guy Ropars, of the University of Rennes. Like being left- or right-handed, human beings also have a dominant eye. Many more people are right-eyed than left, and the dominant eye has more neural connections to the brain than the weaker one. In dyslexic people, both eyes have the same, round spot, which translates into neither eye being dominant, they found.
