If you’ve ever felt headaches, eye strain, or irritation when using screens, you might be dealing with eye misalignment. It’s a lot more common than you might think; people deal with those feelings of eye strain all the time. Fortunately, there’s an answer: Neurolens glasses.
Neurolens glasses incorporate a unique design into their lenses, using special contoured prisms to slightly alter how light enters the eye. They’re customized to correct your natural misalignment, helping you find relief from the symptoms of eye strain and misalignment. They can be an excellent solution for people with constant eye strain and fatigue.
What Is Binocular Vision?
Your visual system is much more complicated than you might initially think. Your eyes work together, seeing the world from slightly different angles. They constantly coordinate with each other, using small muscles to focus intently on the same point before sending information to the brain. There, visual information is combined into a single image, letting you process the world around you smoothly and efficiently.
This entire system is your binocular vision. When the eyes are properly aligned, working together, and accurately performing their job, you’re able to see depth, distance, and everything else.
Binocular Vision Dysfunction
However, this doesn’t mean that your binocular vision always works perfectly. Sometimes, certain factors can come into play, and the eyes start to struggle to work together in harmony. When your eyes become misaligned, you’ll likely experience:
- Headaches
- Neck pain
- Eye strain
- Blurred vision
- Double vision
- Dizziness
- Difficulty concentrating
This is called “binocular vision dysfunction.” So why does this develop?
What Causes Eye Misalignment?
Whenever you focus on something for a long time—like a computer screen or television—you’re using small muscles to control your eyes. However, you can’t constantly strain muscles forever. Sooner or later, they need a break. Think of any time you’ve lifted something heavy; eventually, your muscles can’t do it without support.
Your eyes work similarly. When they’re constantly focusing, you strain the tiny muscles used to control where you look. Sooner or later, your eyes can start to struggle to coordinate perfectly, leading to a disparity in the images sent to the brain. This can trigger the symptoms above. The brain needs to work harder to process what the eyes are sending properly.
This can become much worse when other factors are at play. Developmental issues in the eye muscles can lead to an imbalance in their strength, or your eyes could even naturally be slightly misaligned. Other factors can easily exacerbate binocular vision dysfunction and eye misalignment.
If this is the case, it might be time to try Neurolens.
What Are Neurolens Glasses?
Neurolens glasses are a type of specialty eyewear specifically designed to correct the symptoms of binocular vision dysfunction and eye misalignment. Unlike regular eyeglasses, which primarily correct vision problems, Neurolenses aim to address the underlying issue.
To do so, these glasses incorporate a unique contoured prism design into each lens. This alters light as it enters the eye, accommodating your natural misalignment. Each pair of Neurolenses is custom-made using special measurements taken during an assessment with an eye care professional.
This way, Neurolens glasses can gently adjust how you see the world, reducing the strain on your eye muscles to improve your overall visual comfort.
How Do Neurolens Glasses Work?
Neurolens glasses use a sophisticated measurement process to determine the exact amount of prism correction needed for each patient. During the initial assessment with your optometrist, special equipment measures the degree of your eye misalignment. This data is used to create your future lenses.
Then, your customized prescription is sent out to create the lenses. This information includes the angles and orientation of the prisms needed to properly align your eyes. Once the lenses arrive, your optometrist will have you return to try them out.
This simple process may be all you need to correct your natural vision issues and avoid future symptoms of eye misalignment. Neurolenses come in both prescription and non-prescription forms, making them easily accessible to everyone.
