What Is Neurolens and How Does It Work?

If you’ve been struggling with eye discomfort, frequent headaches, or neck tension, you’re not alone. These symptoms might stem from something you didn’t expect—eye misalignment. 

Enter Neurolens, a groundbreaking solution designed to address this issue. But what exactly is Neurolens, and how does it work? Let’s dive in.

What is Neurolens?

Neurolens is a type of eyewear designed to correct minor misalignments in your eyes, often the hidden cause of persistent discomfort. Unlike regular glasses, Neurolens uses specialized contoured prism technology to align your eyes perfectly, reducing strain and related symptoms.

They are the secret weapon for anyone tired of experiencing headaches after staring at a screen or feeling tension at the end of the day.

Symptoms of Eye Misalignment

Many people experience symptoms related to eye misalignment without realizing it. Common signs include:

  • Eye pain

  • Blurred vision

  • Motion sickness

  • Eye strain

  • Difficulty driving

  • Dizziness

  • Headaches

  • Sensitivity to light

  • Double vision

  • Feeling off-balance

  • Eye fatigue

  • Vertigo

  • Losing your place or skipping lines when reading

  • Anxiety

  • Clumsiness

  • Panic attacks 

How Does Neurolens Work?

The technology behind Neurolens addresses a condition called Trigeminal Dysphoria, where slight eye misalignments increase eye strain and discomfort. By using a specialized interactive headset device, an optometrist measures the degree of your eye misalignment at various distances. 

The resulting data creates custom lenses that incorporate contoured prism. This prism adjusts the placement of the light entering your eyes, helping your eyes work together more effectively and reducing the strain on your ocular muscles.

Eye misalignment often overlaps with conditions like Binocular Vision Dysfunction, which Neurolens is specifically designed to address.

You can get these lenses in various prescriptions.  Neurolens glasses can be worn alone or over contact lenses. 

Benefits of Neurolens Glasses

Neurolens glasses go beyond just improving your vision. They tackle multiple symptoms by addressing their root cause: eye misalignment. Here’s why they’re worth considering:

  • Reduced Headaches: You will experience fewer migraines and tension headaches, which are common complaints among those with vision problems that cause headaches

  • Enhanced Comfort: Say goodbye to tired, dry, or strained eyes after long hours of screen time.

  • Improved Posture: Alleviating neck and shoulder pain leads to better overall posture.

  • Custom Fit: These lenses are made specifically for your needs, ensuring optimal comfort.

How to Get Neurolens Glasses

 

To determine if Neurolens is right for you, it's important to consult with an optometric physician prescribing the lens.  They will conduct a comprehensive eye exam to assess your visual system and determine if you have any underlying eye misalignment issues. Neurolens specialists, such as the doctors at Vision Source Rio and Vision Source Heights, have the headsets required to take your Neurolens measurements.  

If Neurolens is recommended, they will be custom-made to address your specific needs. Adjusting to new eyewear can sometimes feel challenging, but understanding how to adapt to new glasses can make the process smoother.

Cost Of Neurolens Glasses

The enhanced cost of Neurolens is due to the custom contoured prism that is digitally ground into the lenses specifically to address your unique eye misalignment measurements.  Thus they are generally slightly more expensive than standard eyeglasses. The cost starts at approximately $650 for single-vision lenses, while multi-distance progressive lenses can cost around $850. When factoring in the cost of frames and additional customizations, a complete pair of Neurolens lens glasses can be $1,000 or so, depending on the frame selected.  But you have to ask yourself, what would it be worth not to have headaches, vertigo, motion sickness, etc.?  What would it be like to feel fresh instead of fatigued at day’s end? 

Can I Wear Neurolens Glasses Outside?

Absolutely! Neurolens are designed for everyday wear and can be used for all your visual activities, including driving, watching TV, and using digital devices.

When Will I See Results with Neurolens?

Many patients experience noticeable relief from symptoms like headaches, eye strain, and neck pain within just a few days of wearing Neurolens.  However, for some, it may take a few weeks of consistent wear to adapt and achieve optimal results. 

The advanced prism technology in Neurolens gradually corrects for eye misalignment, ensuring lasting comfort and clarity. Patience is key—your journey to symptom-free vision is well worth the short adjustment period!
