Why Neurolens?

At First Optometry, we prioritize solutions that enhance both vision and overall well-being. Neurolens is backed by technology that provides a personalized, proven approach to correcting eye misalignment.

Unlike traditional lenses, Neurolens dynamically adjusts for your specific needs, helping you experience clearer, more comfortable vision throughout the day.

Common Symptoms Neurolens Can Help with

Many people experience daily discomfort that may be linked to eye misalignment. Neurolens is designed to address these issues by gently correcting how your eyes work together. Here are some of the most common symptoms Neurolens can help with:

Headaches: Helps reduce the frequency and intensity of headaches, especially those caused by eye strain.
Eye strain and fatigue: Eases the workload on your eyes by correcting misalignment, which can relieve strain and fatigue.
Neck and shoulder pain: Reduces muscle strain in the neck and shoulders that may occur as your body compensates for eye misalignment.
Dizziness and motion sickness: Stabilizes visual input, which can help lessen symptoms of dizziness and motion sensitivity.
Dry eye: Alleviates dry eye symptoms by minimizing strain and promoting a more natural blinking pattern.
Light sensitivity: Improves comfort in bright settings by addressing the underlying visual misalignment.
Blurred vision: Enhances clarity, especially during extended periods of near work like reading or screen use.

What Is Eye Misalignment?

Binocular vision disorder (BVD) occurs when your eyes struggle to work together properly, often leading to visual discomfort. Even small misalignments can cause your brain and eye muscles to work harder than necessary, resulting in symptoms such as:

Light sensitivity
Frequent headaches
Eye fatigue and strain
Neck and shoulder pain
Difficulty focusing, especially on screens or reading

Addressing Headaches, Eye Strain, & Neck Pain

If you’ve been experiencing chronic headaches, eye discomfort, or neck pain, the cause might be linked to your vision. Neurolens targets these symptoms at their root, correcting the misalignment that forces your eyes and body to overcompensate.

Neurolens prism lenses take these misalignments into account with a design that can promote better eye teaming and coordination, ultimately helping reduce eye strain and discomfort.

How Quickly Will Symptoms Improve?

Every patient’s experience is unique, but many report noticeable improvement within a few weeks of using Neurolens. As your eyes adjust to the corrected alignment, symptoms like headaches, fatigue, and discomfort often become less frequent and intense.

Our team will guide you through the adjustment period and monitor your progress.

The Neurolens Assessment

During your comprehensive eye exam, we can assess your candidacy for Neurolens. The evaluation may include:

A detailed discussion of your digital device usage and visual symptoms
A complete eye health assessment to check for any underlying eye conditions
An evaluation of your eye teaming and focusing ability to identify any potential misalignments contributing to digital eye strain.

If we detect misalignment, we can customize Neurolens lenses to provide relief tailored to your vision needs.
