K.K.'s story is about how she was mislabeled as being a slow learner, while it was believed she had dyslexia.
It wasn't until she was in middle school before she was diagnosed as having, 'photophobia,' a condition caused by the eye, itself.
Photophobia is caused by the aqueous humour in the eye. The aqueous humour is a fluid at the front of the eye, which helps to maintain the shape of the eye. Light passes through this fluid on its way to the retina. The shape of the eye can determine eye fatigue, such as handling glare from a computer, dealing with lighting conditions, which can distort what one sees, as well as having difficulties with organizational issues, such as not seeing items that may be directly in full view.
What is photophobia? Well, according to definition it is "painful sensitivity to strong light." Now, of course, who wouldn't have that problem? It's why we wear sunglasses! But it is much more than that! Ironically, you won't find the information I offer in this book on the Internet and that's because most people are not aware that photophobia is an 'umbrella' term referring to how the eye filters different forms of light and for some, can cause reading and writing problems.
