I was curious if there were any benefits to using the font for someone who's not dyslexic, but rather uses reading glasses and spends a lot of time in front of a screen. I was a bit disappointed to find that the font is $59.95 for a home user licence[0] so didn't try it out.
The font itself is rather pleasing to the eye, having an almost organic non-uniformness. I'd also like to see a monospaced version, if I were to use it for source code.
Edit: I also discovered OpenDyslexic font that is donation-ware[1]. It has more exaggerated stroke weight variations, perhaps more useful for those more affected. There's also a page describing these and others[2].
