What Are Neurolens Glasses and How Do They Work?

The brain constantly coordinates with the eyes. It keeps them in sync and aligned, enabling people to see the world around them without experiencing double vision. So if you have misaligned eyes, you will probably experience various bothersome symptoms. These include dizziness, headaches, neck stiffness, migraines, and tension around and in your eyes.

 

You might also find it hard to maintain balance. Another factor that may compound these symptoms include prolonged exposure to digital devices such as computers and smartphones. This can make everyday life quite difficult.

 

According to studies, about two-thirds of people experience some symptoms of eye misalignment. As the number of people shifting to remote learning and working continues to grow, this problem gets worse. Even a small eye misalignment can cause issues. Fortunately, prism corrections can provide significant relief.

 

What Are Neurolenses?

Neurolens glasses can help correct eye misalignment and provide comfortable vision. These prescription lenses, the first of their kind, add a contoured prism meant to correct eye misalignments.

 

They are different from regular glasses since they use clinically tested and patented technology to correct eye misalignment. They involve using sophisticated instruments to measure eye misalignment at different distances. Eye doctors then conduct specialized tests to help them create lenses that help deal with specific symptoms of eye misalignment.

 

Symptoms of Eye Misalignment

Ideally, your eyes should work in perfect synchronization. After all, they are two separate entities working to create one comprehensive picture. However, many people’s eyes do not cooperate as well as they should due to a variety of reasons. Some of these include disease or injuries to the brain or problems at birth. Often, this problem stems from eye misalignment.

 

Some of the common symptoms of binocular vision dysfunction or eye misalignment include:

 

• Eye pain
   

• Blurred vision
   

• Motion sickness
   

• Eyestrain
   

• 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 They Work

As stated earlier, this type of lens adds a contoured prism to correct an eye misalignment issue. For the best results, experts recommend wearing them during your waking hours. Those unable to do so should at least wear them while using digital devices.

 

There is a direct correlation between the eyes and the trigeminal nerve, the biggest and most complex nerve connecting to the brain. Having misaligned eyes can put too much pressure on this nerve, causing some of the symptoms listed above.

 

Neurolenses use specialized diagnostic measurements to detect possible eye misalignment. The measurement device measures where the gap between is, helping your eye doctor determine how aligned your eyes are. This exam provides specifics of your prescription for contoured prism.

 

Benefits of Neurolens Glasses

Many people in the U.S. spend hours every day using digital devices, leading to visual trigeminal dysphoria. Fortunately, these lenses are extremely effective and successful in addressing this problem. Most patients experience as much as an 80 percent reduction in the symptoms they were previously experiencing.

 

How Much Prism Do You Need?

Each patient’s eyes are unique. Thus, the amount of prism you need will depend on your individual needs. Your eye doctor will fine-tune the amount of prism to help you achieve clarity of vision and relief from your symptoms.
