Do you experience eye fatigue, headaches, or eyes that feel dry? Do you have neck and shoulder pain or frequent bouts of dizziness? You could have misaligned eyes if you experience the symptoms, especially after prolonged digital device use. When the eyes fail to work correctly, it can cause strain and poor vision. Vision correction lenses can help improve eyesight.
UNDERSTANDING EYE MISALIGNMENT
Each eye captures visual information independently before being transmitted to the brain, where the two are fused into one image. The communication between the eyes and brain is constant as long as both eyes are open.
The brain combines the visual data seamlessly when the eyes are perfectly aligned. Some people have eye misalignment, forcing the brain to fuse the pairs of images manually. The constant adjustment causes continuous stimulation to a nerve in the brain known as the trigeminal nerve. It leads to eyestrain symptoms.
BINOCULAR VISION DISORDER
Most people with misaligned eyes experience binocular vision disorder (BVD), a common vision problem. The misalignment is usually more pronounced while focusing on near objects. The symptoms are prevalent as people become more reliant on digital devices. Two out of three people experience the symptoms at some point, with 55 percent experiencing them daily. The symptoms often vary in severity with the level of the eye misalignment.
NEUROLENS FOR VISION CORRECTION
Neurolens prism lenses use contoured prism technology to bring the eyes into comfortable alignment. The corrective lenses deal with issues affecting the eye’s trigeminal nerve. When eyes are misaligned, they place abnormal pressure on the nerve, causing headaches, eyestrain, and tension in the surrounding muscles.
The technology places the lens correction where it is needed. Customized lenses are available for any prescription and are ideal for those who wear contacts. Individuals who do not wear prescription lenses can also benefit from Neurolens.

ARE YOU A CANDIDATE FOR NEUROLENS?
If you experience symptoms of eyestrain, you can visit your eye doctor to confirm if you can benefit from Neurolenses. To find out if you are a candidate for Neurolens, your doctor will evaluate the severity and frequency of your symptoms.
The doctor will measure the eye misalignment using a Neurolens Measurement Device (NMD). The diagnosis takes a few minutes, and the results help create a visual solution to address your needs.
When eye misalignment is severe, it can cause double vision. Sometimes, the misalignment is subtle, making it hard to identify, but the symptoms can still be debilitating. An eye exam will determine the cause of the symptoms. Neurolens prisms can correct vision disorders. Even small prismatic corrections can improve visual comfort.
