Some children grow out of the need to use the overlays as their eyes
mature/adjust to reading (!) I don't know.

Initially the colour changes improve their ability to read even if that is
just caused by lessening the load by reducing glare.

 My daughters used theirs for a number of years and their reading/spelling
improved straightaway, and steadily thereafter.

It appears that when there is less processing drain elsewhere (improved
reading fluency) they seem to no longer need the overlay.  So it is not a
'test' as to whether the student ever needed the overlay it they suddenly
stop using one.
