Support Your Sight with Neurolenses
When you’re suffering from end-of-the-day fatigue and headaches, an eye misalignment issue may be the problem. With healthy vision, your eyes work together to create in-depth, detailed images. But when your left and right aren’t aligned, it can contribute to vision problems, dizziness, eye strain, neck aches, or even dry eye.
Advanced Eye Center offers Neurolens—a lens designed to alleviate symptoms by correcting eye misalignment. Find out how your lenses can support your visual comfort by visiting us today.
What Is Neurolens?
Neurolenses feature a contoured prism design. Prism correction in eyeglasses helps bend light before it reaches the eye. When you have an eye misalignment problem, light falls on different parts of the retina, making your eyes work harder to focus or causing double vision. When light is redirected to focus directly on the retina, it’s easier on the eyes.
Correcting focus before light reaches the eye can restore comfortable vision, so your eyes can relax instead of overworking.
Who Can Benefit from Neurolens?
Neurolens can help improve visual comfort for many eyeglass wearers, including people suffering from digital eye strain, dry eye, and eye alignment issues.
Digital Eye Strain
Digital eye strain (also computer vision syndrome) is a group of vision and eye-related problems caused by prolonged computer use, including phones, tablets, and other digital devices.
Common symptoms include:
- Blurred vision
- Dry eyes
- Eye strain or fatigue
- Neck, back, or shoulder aches
Taking screen breaks, wearing appropriate prescription eyewear, and adjusting lighting can help alleviate symptoms.
Dry Eye
Dry eye is a condition in which a person doesn’t have enough quality tears to lubricate and nourish the eye. Tears are necessary for maintaining the health of the front surface of the eye and for providing clear vision. Environmental conditions, such as prolonged computer use or uncorrected vision problems, can also contribute to dry eye.
Lumenis OptiLight can help improve dry eye caused by evaporative dry eye—when tears glands are blocked or missing components needed to produce quality tears. Advanced Eye Center also offers additional treatment options. See our eye disease diagnosis & management page for more.
Eye Misalignment
Although lazy eye (amblyopia) and crossed eyes (strabismus) are typically detected in childhood, these common eye misalignment problems can occur in adults. Sometimes the problem is present in childhood but diagnosed later in life.
Lazy eye is a lack of visual development in one eye. The weaker eye may have a significant difference in visual acuity (such as poorer distance or close vision), so the brain ignores visual input in favor of the stronger eye.
Crossed eyes or eye turn is a condition where the eyes do not look at the same place at the same time. It’s usually caused by poor eye muscle control, but can result from severe farsightedness (hyperopia). The misalignment may be slight, but it can still significantly impact vision.
Prism lenses are a standard vision therapy treatment for eye alignment problems.
