Take the Next Step Toward Greater Visual Comfort
During your recent visit to Positive Eye Ons, our team discussed symptoms or assessment findings that may be connected to how your eyes work together. Neurolens® lenses may be worth considering when eye misalignment appears to contribute to visual strain or discomfort.
A follow-up appointment allows us to review your findings, answer your questions, and determine whether Neurolens may be appropriate for your needs.
Scheduling a follow-up does not obligate you to order Neurolens.
When Your Eyes Have to Work Harder Together
Your eyes must coordinate closely to create a single, comfortable image. When their natural alignment differs, the visual system may need to work harder to keep images clear and combined.
This additional effort may become more noticeable during activities that require sustained focus, such as reading, working at a computer, using a phone, or driving.
Symptoms that may be associated with visual misalignment include:
- Eye strain or tired eyes
- Headaches
- Neck or shoulder discomfort
- Difficulty concentrating during near work
- Light sensitivity
- Motion sensitivity or dizziness
- Discomfort during prolonged screen use
These symptoms can have many different causes. Experiencing one or more of them does not necessarily mean that eye misalignment is responsible. Your symptoms and clinical measurements must be considered together.
What Are Neurolens?
Neurolens are prescription lenses that use contoured prism technology. The amount of prism changes across the lens to support the different visual demands involved in distance and near tasks.
For suitable patients, these lenses are designed to reduce the effort required for the eyes to work together. Neurolens can also incorporate your regular vision prescription when needed.
Neurolens do not treat every cause of headaches, dizziness, neck discomfort, or eye strain. Results and adaptation experiences vary, and symptom improvement cannot be guaranteed.
Neurolens and Headaches
Some headaches may be associated with visual strain or the effort required to keep the eyes working together. If your assessment suggests that eye alignment could be contributing to your symptoms, Neurolens may be considered as one part of your care.
Neurolens are not a cure for headaches or migraines. Headaches can have many causes, and lenses cannot diagnose, treat, or prevent every headache condition. Patients with recurring or concerning headaches may also need evaluation from an appropriate medical professional.
Why It Is Worth Following Up
Recurring visual discomfort can make screen use, reading, driving, and other daily activities more difficult. It may also be unclear whether your eyes, work habits, posture, health, or another factor is contributing to your symptoms.
Following up provides an opportunity to better understand your assessment findings. If Neurolens are appropriate, your doctor can explain what they are designed to do and what results may reasonably be expected. If they are not the right option, the team can discuss whether another next step should be considered.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why were Neurolens recommended?
Your doctor may have identified symptoms and assessment findings suggesting that eye alignment could be contributing to visual strain. The specific reason for your recommendation will be reviewed during your follow-up.
Are Neurolens the same as regular glasses?
Neurolens can include your regular prescription, but they also incorporate contoured prism technology. This design is intended to help manage the visual demands associated with eye misalignment in suitable patients.
Can Neurolens treat migraines?
Neurolens are not a treatment or cure for migraine disease. They may be considered when clinical findings suggest that visual misalignment is contributing to eye strain or headache symptoms. Migraine symptoms should be evaluated and managed with an appropriate healthcare professional.
Will Neurolens eliminate my headaches?
No specific result can be guaranteed. Headaches have many possible causes, and not every patient will respond in the same way. Your doctor will discuss whether your findings suggest that Neurolens may be an appropriate option.
How long does it take to adjust to Neurolens?
Adaptation varies. Some patients adjust quickly, while others may need more time to become comfortable with the lens design. Your doctor will explain what to expect and when to contact the practice if you experience difficulty.
Do I need to wear Neurolens all day?
Your recommended wearing schedule will depend on your symptoms, prescription, daily activities, and clinical findings. Some patients may be advised to wear them throughout the day, while others may use them for specific tasks.
Can Neurolens include my regular prescription?
In many cases, the Neurolens design can be combined with the prescription needed to correct nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism, or presbyopia. Your doctor will determine which lens design is appropriate.
Are Neurolens covered by insurance?
Coverage varies by insurance plan. Some vision benefits may contribute toward the frame, prescription lenses, or related services, while the Neurolens component may not be fully covered. Our team can provide available information, but patients should confirm benefits directly with their insurance provider.
What will Neurolens cost?
Before you place an order, our team will explain the total cost, what is included, and any applicable payment or promotional terms.
What if I am not ready to order Neurolens?
That is completely understandable. A follow-up gives you an opportunity to review your findings and ask questions. Scheduling does not obligate you to purchase lenses.
