How Is Neurolens® Different from Regular Prescription Glasses?

If you experience headaches, neck and shoulder pain, dizziness, or eye strain, especially after long periods of screen use, your symptoms could be caused by a common but often overlooked condition called eye misalignment. While regular prescription glasses help you see clearly, they are not designed to correct this issue. That is where Neurolens® comes in.

Understanding Regular Prescription Glasses

Traditional prescription glasses are crafted to correct common refractive errors, such as:

• Myopia (nearsightedness) - difficulty seeing far away.

• Hyperopia (farsightedness) - difficulty seeing up close.

• Astigmatism - blurred vision due to an irregular cornea or lens shape.

• Presbyopia - age-related difficulty focusing on close objects.

These lenses bend light to focus images properly on your retina, improving visual clarity. However, they don’t address small misalignments between your eyes that can cause visual discomfort, even when your vision is technically “clear.”

What Makes Neurolens® Different?

Neurolens is a type of prescription lens designed to help reduce the symptoms of eye misalignment, which can cause issues like headaches, neck and shoulder pain, eye strain, and dizziness. These lenses use a special contoured prism technology that gently corrects how your eyes work together, easing the strain on the visual system.

Addresses Eye Misalignment (Binocular Vision Dysfunction)

Neurolens® incorporates contoured prism technology to gently realign your eyes. This reduces the extra strain your eye muscles experience when working together, which is often the root cause of headaches, fatigue, and discomfort.

Customized to Your Unique Needs

Before prescribing Neurolens®, your eye doctor uses advanced measurements to determine your precise eye alignment at various distances. Your lenses are then custom-designed to address your specific misalignment profile - something standard glasses do not measure or correct.

Reduces Digital Eye Strain Symptoms

With more people spending hours on digital devices each day, symptoms like eye strain, neck pain, and blurred vision have become increasingly common. Neurolens® helps relieve these issues by improving how your eyes work together, making it more comfortable to focus on screens for long periods.

Neurolens® can be combined with your standard prescription, meaning you don’t have to choose between clear vision and comfort - you get both in one pair of glasses.

Why Choose Neurolens® Over Regular Glasses?

If you’ve tried traditional glasses but still experience discomfort, it may not be a prescription clarity issue - it may be a binocular vision problem. Neurolens® takes vision correction a step further by addressing both clarity and comfort, helping you feel better throughout your day.

Ready to Experience the Difference Neurolens® Can Make?

While regular prescription glasses improve how clearly you see, Neurolens® improves how comfortably you see by correcting subtle eye misalignments. For many patients, this means relief from chronic headaches, neck pain, and digital eye strain.
