Am I a Good Candidate for Neurolenses®?

Prolonged screen use has led to unpleasant side effects and symptoms associated with the eyes. Eyestrain is a problem affecting people of all ages, along with eye misalignment or binocular vision dysfunction (BVD). Many often misdiagnose BVD, leading to them not finding relief from the condition. With Neurolens®, they could find the treatment that is effective for many eye issues, including BVD.

Here is a guide to know if you are a candidate for Neurolenses.

What Is Neurolens?

Neurolens is a technology used with prescription lenses to relieve eyestrain and BVD symptoms. It is comprised of a measurement device and a specialized prism lens. The technology helps with accurate visual misalignment diagnosis, providing a firm basis for deciding whether Neurolenses can help.

The special corrective lenses use prism optics to reduce the misalignment symptoms that cause eyestrain. They also correct misalignment and double vision, allowing the patient to see one image.

Experiencing Double Vision

Someone who experiences double vision is a good candidate for Neurolens. Double vision occurs when visual misalignment results in seeing two sets of images. The special lenses help correct this problem by allowing the eyes and the brain to work together properly. The eyes help the brain perceive one image by providing different correction amounts.

Chronic Headaches

The slightest eye misalignment can result in strain and pressure on the eye muscle that can cause headaches. If you suffer from chronic headaches, you may benefit from Neurolens because tension headaches and migraines are common BVD symptoms. The misaligned eyes become fatigued as they look at multiple images that cause headaches. Wearing special lenses helps move the image and reduce tension.

Persistent Neck Pain

Do you suffer from neck pain? You may be a candidate for Neurolens because the eyes need to work together to function correctly. If they are misaligned or not at the same level, people try to correct the problem by tilting their heads. The constant tilting can strain the neck muscles and lead to spasms. Correcting the eye misalignment can help reduce muscle tension in the shoulders and neck.

Ocular Fatigue/Asthenopia

Individuals who suffer from eye fatigue may be good candidates for Neurolens. It is a state of exhaustion that occurs due to excessive use of the eyes. Prolonged computer use and working in dimly lit environments can lead to ocular fatigue.

Symptoms of the condition vary from one individual to another. They include eye pain, watery eyes, light sensitivity, migraines, and nausea. Special lenses can help reduce fatigue. 

Motion Sickness

When the eyes try to become aligned while changing direction, it can cause strain on the eye muscles. This results in dizziness, disorientation, light-headedness, and migraines. Symptoms of motion sickness can be triggered by moving the head and standing up suddenly. It can also happen when driving through curves or driving fast on busy highways. If you get motion sickness, you may be a good candidate for Neurolens.

You may also be a good candidate if you have scoliosis and experience a sensation of drifting while walking.
