Am I a Candidate for Neurolens®?

Neurolens® is a revolutionary new technology that works for numerous people suffering from eye misalignment. Sometimes, it is hard to diagnose eye misalignment because the symptoms are evasive. They may present as eye fatigue, headaches, dry eyes, neck aches, and shoulder aches. 

Each of these symptoms could be a problem on its own. It could also be a symptom of several other conditions. But when the symptoms group as above, schedule an appointment with an eye doctor. Your problem could be eye misalignment.

What Is Neurolens?

Neurolens or Neurolenses incorporate the contoured prism technology to align your eyes. They are the ideal treatment for conditions that include binocular vision dysfunction and convergence insufficiency. They are custom-made lenses that meet your needs. The correction placement is made in an intelligent way to bring back comfortable alignment.

How Do I Know If I Am a Candidate?

Sometimes, symptoms like dry eyes or eyestrain may be stand-alone. They do not give a sign of any other underlying issue. But when you experience several symptoms, you need to connect them to get the underlying problem. 

You may experience headaches and neck aches by spending time on your computer or reading on your tablet. If these do not subside with treatment and taking the proper precautions, you may benefit from Neurolens.

There are four things your eye care provider will use to determine whether you are a candidate for Neurolens.

Symptoms

Even a slight eye misalignment causes chronic pressure on the trigeminal nerve. The nerve is the largest in the brain. It consists of three major branches—the mandibular branch, maxillary branch, and ophthalmic branch. When the ophthalmic part responsible for detecting sensation continues getting information about eye misalignment, it can't function. It results in several issues. These include:

• Headaches.
• Eye fatigue.
• Neck aches.
• Shoulder aches.
• Dry eyes.
• Poor depth perception.
• Light sensitivity.
• Nausea.
• Dizziness.
• Double or blurred vision.

Your eye doctor will first interview you and take your medical history. They want to establish whether you are experiencing any of the above symptoms.

Frequency of Symptoms

Next, your doctor will check the frequency of your symptoms. They want to know if they have been recurring and continue after going to the doctor and taking medication. Visit your eye doctor for a diagnosis and try Neurolens.

Severity of Symptoms

At first, you may ignore the symptoms. You may continue with the medication, but the symptoms recur and worsen. You may notice that the more you use your digital devices, the worse your symptoms become. When your symptoms are severe, avoid waiting for them to resolve themselves. Visit an eye doctor familiar with issues of eye misalignment and get a diagnosis.

The Measure of Eye Misalignment

The eye doctor will use a Neurolens Measurement Device or NMD. It clinically measures your eye misalignment, and the procedure only takes a few minutes. Your doctor will analyze the information they gather and create a visual solution. They will make sure that the solution addresses your unique needs.
