A person with a bright smile and their arms crossed wears Neurolens to address eye misalignment.

We often take the incredible complexity of our vision for granted. But when something falls out of balance, even slightly, it can have far-reaching effects. 

For instance, eye misalignment often goes unnoticed until it takes a toll on your daily life. Fortunately, Neurolens offers an effective solution to eye misalignment. This lens technology helps realign your vision for comfort, clarity, and long-lasting relief. 

If you’re experiencing vision issues, schedule a routine eye exam. The sooner we identify problems, the faster we can start appropriate treatment.

A Closer Look at Eye Misalignment 

Your eyes are two halves of one visual system. As humans, our vision is binocular, meaning that both eyes work harmoniously to create a picture of the world. Each eye receives slightly different visual information, which we combine to perceive distances and coordinate eye movement.

Eye misalignment or Binocular Vision Dysfunction (BVD) is a condition where your eyes don’t work properly together. This makes it harder for the brain to interpret signals from the eyes, forcing it to work harder while also straining your eyes and vision.

Eye misalignment can happen for several reasons, such as: 

  • Genetics, as some people have a natural predisposition. 
  • Extensive screen time, since working long hours on the computer or looking at your phone can strain eye muscles, forcing your eyes to work harder than they need.
  • Age, as the strength of your eye muscles can diminish over time. 

BVD doesn’t always develop overnight. Its subtle nature means that many people suffer from its symptoms (headaches, eye strain, difficulty focusing, and dizziness) without even realizing the cause. 

Neurolens: Everything You Need to Know 

Thanks to the perks of modern technology, eyeglasses have come a long way since their inception. Standard prescription lenses are great for correcting vision, but don’t address BVD. Neurolens, however, does.

Neurolens is a technology that uses contoured prism technology to address eye misalignment. By aligning the eyes, Neurolens can significantly ease the strain on your visual system by minimizing symptoms such as: 

  • Eye fatigue 
  • Headaches
  • Motion sickness
  • Sensitivity to light
  • Neck and shoulder discomfort

Neurolens features a progressive prism design (distinct from standard prism lenses), which gradually shifts the alignment of visual images to relieve strain. This promotes proper eye alignment, making it easier for the eyes to work cohesively. 

An eye doctor covers a patient's right eye to assess their visual sharpness during a routine eye exam.

The Neurolens Benefit 

The benefits of Neurolens extend beyond better vision. Here are some perks you may experience: 

  • Custom-fit: Each lens is custom-fit to address your visual needs, providing unparalleled comfort and effectiveness. 
  • Headache relief: Encouraging proper eye alignment means your eyes and brain no longer have to work harder to focus and interpret visual information, relieving headaches and eye strain. 
  • Better focus: Without unnecessarily straining your eyes, you can focus better when you’re working on a computer or reading. 
  • Enhanced comfort: Addressing eye strain equals less eye fatigue, meaning better overall daily comfort.
  • Improved posture: Eye strain causes you to adopt poor posture, but Neurolens wearers report noticeable improvement. 

Around 93% of Neurolens wearers report significant improvement in symptoms. From productivity at work to more comfortable leisure activities, experience the ripple effect of visual comfort. 

Is Neurolens Right for You?

You might benefit from Neurolens if you:

  • Spend hours in front of digital screens.
  • Experience frequent headaches or migraines.
  • Struggle with focus during tasks like reading or working.
  • Feel tension in your neck or shoulders that might be linked to visual strain. 

The only way to know for sure is by discussing the options with your eye doctor. 

If you do opt for Neurolens, here’s what you can expect: 

  • Routine eye exam: A thorough evaluation of your visual sharpness and overall eye health can identify whether you have eye misalignment. 
  • Precise measurement: We’ll use a diagnostic tool to pinpoint the extent of your eye misalignment. 
  • Custom-fit: After these measurements (vision prescription and degree of misalignment), your lenses are made with a contoured prism that corrects your alignment at all distances. 

Experience Visual Harmony 

Healthy and comfortable vision encompasses more than correcting blurry vision. Eye misalignment, for instance, can lead to serious eye strain, headaches, and dizziness, taking a toll on your quality of life, even if you’re wearing standard corrective lenses.

Neurolens goes further, correcting the root cause of eye misalignment and gradually encouraging the eyes to work harmoniously. Visual harmony is well within reach.
