Do you often experience headaches, eye strain, or neck and shoulder discomfort, especially after long hours on a computer or reading? These symptoms may be more than just the result of a busy day. They could be signs of a common but often overlooked condition: eye misalignment. At Rieger Eyecare Group, we offer Neurolens®, an advanced lens technology that helps relieve these symptoms by correcting subtle alignment issues between the eyes.
Neurolens is a breakthrough lens technology that helps correct small misalignments between the eyes. Even minor alignment issues can place extra strain on your visual system, leading to symptoms like headaches, eye fatigue, and neck pain. Neurolens uses contoured prism lenses to gently realign the eyes, improving visual comfort and reducing these common symptoms.
Frequent Headaches: If you regularly experience tension headaches (especially after reading or using screens) it may not just be stress. These headaches can be a result of your eyes working overtime to stay aligned.
Eye Strain and Fatigue: Tired, dry, or achy eyes after a few hours of work could signal your visual system is under pressure. Eye strain is one of the most common indicators of eye misalignment.
Neck and Shoulder Pain: Improper eye alignment can also affect posture. To compensate, your body might adjust head position, leading to neck and shoulder discomfort over time.
Difficulty with Computer or Screen Time: If screen use leaves you feeling drained, dizzy, or off-balance, Neurolens may help by easing the strain on your eyes and improving visual comfort.
Trouble with Focus or Concentration: When your visual system is overworked, it becomes harder to maintain attention. Neurolens can improve your eye coordination, allowing for better focus, especially during reading or close work.
At Rieger Eyecare Group, we use a state-of-the-art device to measure the degree of eye misalignment in real time, providing precise and personalized data about how your eyes work together. This non-invasive measurement takes only a few minutes and allows our team to accurately assess whether your symptoms may be related to eye misalignment.
If results indicate a need for correction, our experienced optometrists may recommend Neurolens as part of your treatment plan. These lenses are customized to your unique measurements, helping to bring your eyes into more natural alignment and offering long-term relief from headaches, eye strain, and other related discomforts.
If you’re dealing with any of the symptoms above, it’s worth considering whether Neurolens could be the answer. It’s a safe, non-invasive way to address the root of your discomfort and improve your overall visual comfort and quality of life.
