Sep 1, 2024 | Eye Health Info, Eyewear

Do you suffer from frequent headaches or migraines? Have you ever considered that the root cause of your pain could be your eyes? Many people who think they have sinus headaches or chronic migraines have been misdiagnosed and actually have a problem with their binocular vision. As many as 80% of adults suffer from the painful symptoms of eye misalignment. At Ideal EyeCare in Council Bluffs, Iowa, we offer a groundbreaking solution: Neurolens. Learn how Neurolens can help relieve your headaches and improve your quality of life.  

The link between headaches and your vision 

Many headaches, including migraines and tension headaches, are caused by vision problems. When your eyes are misaligned, your brain has to work harder to merge the two different images from your eyes into one clear picture. This constant strain can lead to eye strain and fatigue, dry eyes, blurry and double vision, headaches, neck and shoulder pain, and even dizziness and feeling off-balance. This condition is known as binocular vision dysfunction (BVD). Many people suffer from BVD without realizing it and visit multiple specialists to try to find relief. Even a slight misalignment can be debilitating, which is why it’s important to see an eye care professional for eye misalignment testing.  

BVD can affect people of all ages. Adults with BVD may have trouble working on computers, driving, reading, and performing other tasks that require good vision. Children with BVD often struggle with reading and learning, playing sports, car sickness, and focusing. They may also show signs of balance issues and complain of headaches and nausea.  

How does Neurolens help?  

Neurolens is a cutting-edge lens designed to correct eye misalignment that often leads to headaches and other uncomfortable symptoms. These lenses feature a special contoured prism that helps align your eyes properly, reducing the strain on your brain and relieving symptoms like recurring headaches, neck and shoulder pain, and eye fatigue. Many patients experience relief from headaches and other symptoms shortly after they start wearing Neurolenses. 

At Ideal EyeCare, we use advanced diagnostic technology to accurately measure your eye misalignment. This ensures that your Neurolens prescription fits your unique needs. Neurolenses can be customized with any prescription and any type of frame. If you have 20/20 vision, Neurolenses can be made plano (nonprescription) as well.
