Select a colour filter from the list. Try each filter to see which one suits you best.
Or use ColourVeil -a free Application
ColourVeil can help people with Dyslexia and Scotopic Sensitivity Syndrome (also known as Irlen Syndrome or visual stress). It applies a coloured tint across the screen, that can match the prescription from the optometrist.
