We’re all exposed to screens in our day-to-day lives. It’s almost unavoidable no matter where you go, and now, more people are dealing with eye strain than ever. But what if there was a way to enjoy comfortable vision at your computer—all with a pair of specialty glasses?
Enter Neurolens, a blend of technology and traditional eyewear. These incorporate specialty lenses designed to counteract strain and eye misalignment. With Neurolens, you can enjoy clear, comfortable vision with lenses specifically designed to meet your unique visual needs.
What Causes Eye Misalignment?
Our eyes work together as a team. They each see a separate image, and the brain combines them together. In order to see properly, your eyes need to be appropriately aligned and working together in harmony—but this isn’t always how it goes.
The slightest eye misalignment means your eyes and brain need to work harder. This puts additional strain on the visual system, which can quickly lead to persistent irritating symptoms. While small misalignments may not seem like a big deal, they can make daily tasks harder.
Today’s lifestyles play a big role in eye misalignment. Spending hours in front of screens, whether for work, school, or leisure, is a common culprit. But any task that demands a lot of focus—like reading or fine detail work—can also add stress to the eyes, brain, and surrounding systems.
How to Tell if You’re Dealing With Eye Misalignment
It’s not always easy to know if eye alignment is causing your symptoms. However, there are signs that something might be off, including:
- Frequent headaches or migraines
- Tired, sore, or dry eyes
- Blurred or double vision
- Difficulty concentrating when reading
- Sensitivity or discomfort during extended screen time
- Motion sickness
These all can indicate having an eye misalignment. If you often experience these symptoms, visit your optometrist. It might be time to try Neurolens.
How Does Neurolens Work?
Neurolens, a type of specialty lens, takes a unique approach to dealing with strain and misalignment. Rather than just focusing on finding relief, these glasses address the underlying cause of the symptoms. Misalignments vary from person to person, so the lenses are tailored to provide support where it’s needed most.
Neurolens glasses include a special prism technology in each lens. These are custom-designed to match your unique level of eye misalignment. Light enters through these prisms and is gently shifted to reach the eyes more comfortably.
This adjustment eases the strain on your eyes, and restores balance to your visual system. With continued use, you should notice that focusing becomes much more comfortable.
How to Get Neurolenses
Neurolenses aren’t a one-size-fits-all process. To function properly, they need to be custom-made to meet individual circumstances. That’s why everything starts with a visit to your optometrist.
First, your optometrist performs a comprehensive exam to determine what’s causing your symptoms. This rules out other conditions that could be subtly affecting your visual comfort. Then, they can take a series of measurements, all to determine your precise level of eye misalignment.
From here, your lenses are created. The prisms included in each lens are custom-made to match your unique measurements and then fitted into frames chosen by you and your optometrist.
Tips for Preventing Eye Strain
Even with Neurolenses, good habits can make all the difference in the world. To prevent eye strain, small adjustments at home can help. They’re a simple way to keep your vision comfortable—no matter what task demands your attention.
Here are some practical steps you can take to reduce strain:
- Follow the 20-20-20 rule—every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for at least 20 seconds.
- Adjust your workstation so your screen is at eye level.
- Use proper lighting to reduce glare and harsh shadows.
- Take regular breaks to allow your eyes to rest during extended tasks.
- Schedule regular eye exams to keep track of visual changes and address issues early.
These changes can ease the burden on your eyes. When combined with Neurolenses, they provide a strong foundation for visual comfort.
