If you’ve ever experienced eye strain, headaches, and neck and shoulder pain and had no idea why, you may be suffering from eye misalignment. It’s a common eye condition that occurs when your eyes don’t work well together as a team, making it more challenging for you to see and stay focused. As a result, your eyes and brain have to work harder, placing pressure on your trigeminal nerve. This nerve is the largest and most complex nerve in your brain. Pressure on this nerve can cause digital eye strain, triggering many uncomfortable symptoms such as eye strain and fatigue, dry eyes, motion sickness, neck and shoulder pain, and chronic headaches.
Many people notice these symptoms get worse after using digital devices or reading for extended periods. Dealing with this discomfort can make it difficult to perform simple tasks and leave you feeling uncomfortable all day. If you’re struggling with these issues, Neurolens could be just what you need to see clearly and comfortably again.
What is Neurolens?
Neurolenses are specially designed lenses that have contoured prism technology built right into the lens itself. This unique contoured prism brings the eyes back into alignment and provides more comfortable vision. This helps relieve the symptoms of eye strain and other vision problems by correcting eye misalignment that can occur when you spend too much time looking at screens or doing other activities that require intense focus. These lenses are custom-made for each patient based on their unique prescription and eye alignment needs.
Are you a good candidate?
If you spend a lot of time on screens for work or in your personal time, Neurolens can significantly ease the strain on your eyes. These lenses are also helpful for addressing discomfort after reading or close-up work. Here are some of the symptoms Neurolens helps with:
- Eye strain: Do you often feel tired or achy around your eyes, especially after using screens or reading for a while?
- Headaches: Are frequent headaches bothering you, especially after focusing on objects for extended periods?
- Discomfort with screens: Do you struggle to focus on digital screens, sometimes leading to blurry vision or difficulty concentrating?
- Eye misalignment: Have you noticed that your eyes don’t always work together properly, causing discomfort or double vision?
- Binocular dysfunction: Do you experience difficulties with depth perception or eye coordination?
- Dizziness: Do you often feel dizzy, have balance problems, or suffer from vertigo?
Prescribing your Neurolenses
Anyone who experiences symptoms of eye strain or eye misalignment could potentially benefit from these specialized lenses. However, it’s always best to consult with an eye care professional to determine if Neurolens is the right choice for you. During a comprehensive eye exam, our eye doctor will perform a lifestyle index test to find out if you are a suitable candidate for Neurolenses. If you are a good candidate, we will use the Neurolens measurement device to determine the degree of your eye misalignment. It is a quick and painless test that takes only a few minutes. The test will provide our eye doctor with information about your eye alignment and your ability to see up close and far away.
Neurolens can be incorporated into both prescription and non-prescription glasses and can be added to any frames. If you already wear glasses for vision correction, Neurolens can be customized with your current prescription. Even if you don’t currently wear glasses or contacts, Neurolens can still relieve the pressure on your trigeminal nerve and prevent future discomfort from eye strain.
