The brain works with the eyes to ensure clear vision by keeping them aligned and in sync. It helps to prevent double vision and other symptoms. The following symptoms may be due to misaligned eyes:

• Headaches

• Dizziness

• Stiff neck

• Eye tension 

When the eyes are not aligned, it stresses the visual system as it tries to focus. 

Understanding Eye Misalignment 

Each eye collects images or visual information independently. The brain consolidates the separate images, forming a single image. When the eyes are perfectly aligned, the image is clear, without distortions. 

If the eyes are misaligned, they do not work well as a team. It forces the brain and visual system to work harder to focus and make sense of the information. This condition is known as binocular vision dysfunction (BVD). Placing pressure on the trigeminal nerve leads to brain overstimulation and various uncomfortable symptoms. 

Symptoms of Eye Misalignment 

Ideally, the eyes should work in perfect harmony and synchronization. When the two eyes fail to cooperate due to misalignment, it can lead to various uncomfortable symptoms, including:

• Blurry vision

• Eye pain

• Eyestrain or eye fatigue

• Motion sickness

• Dizziness

• Difficulty driving

• Headaches

• Shoulder and neck pain

• Double vision

• Light sensitivity

• Feeling off-balance

• Vertigo

Some people experience panic attacks, anxiety, and clumsiness due to eye misalignment. You may find it hard to maintain your balance, or you keep skipping lines or losing your place when reading. Visit your eye doctor to learn if the symptoms are due to misalignment. 

What are Neurolens Eyeglasses?

Neurolenses can help to correct eye misalignment and providing comfortable vision. They differ from regular prescription eyeglasses in that the lenses have a contoured prism that helps to correct misalignments. 

The Neurolens technology is clinically tested and involves using special equipment to measure eye misalignment at various distances. Eye specialists conduct tests that help to design lenses to deal with specific eye misalignment symptoms. 

How Neurolenses Work 

Eye doctors use specialized diagnostic equipment to detect misalignment and determine how aligned the eyes are. Contoured lenses help to correct misalignment problems. The test results provide specifics for the contoured prism prescription. 

The prism power increases gradually, from distance to near, bringing the eyes into correct alignment. The lenses compensate for eye misalignment, reducing pressure on the trigeminal nerve. 

Results of Neurolens Treatment

Most individuals experience an 80% reduction in BVD symptoms when using Neurolenses. Contoured prisms compensate for near and distance misalignment. Each individual’s eyes are unique, and the amount of prism added will differ. For best results, patients should wear Neurolenses throughout the day. 

Technicians can add Neurolenses into any eyeglass frame, and you can wear them like regular eyeglasses. They can be added to regular vision prescriptions. The lenses are highly effective in addressing visual trigeminal dysphoria. Many patients wear eyeglasses only when using digital devices.
