Do you often experience headaches, eye strain, and neck and shoulder pain, especially after long periods of reading or using computers? Many people suffer from these symptoms, and while stress can contribute to them, another often overlooked cause is binocular vision dysfunction (BVD). If you’ve been visiting specialists and doctors without finding relief, it may be time to try Neurolens. At I-Care Optical, we offer Neurolens in Tampa as a treatment option for BVD to help patients struggling with chronic headaches and discomfort.
What is binocular vision dysfunction?
Binocular vision dysfunction occurs when your eyes are unable to work together properly, leading to eye strain and discomfort. This can cause a range of symptoms, including headaches, eye fatigue, dry eyes, neck and shoulder pain, dizziness, and even difficulty concentrating. Traditional treatments like glasses or contact lenses may not always address the root cause of the issue. Neurolens is designed to correct this misalignment, providing relief from these symptoms and enhancing visual comfort.
What is Neurolens?
Neurolenses are prescription lenses that contain a contoured prism designed to correct misalignments between your eyes. Neurolens can provide significant relief from common symptoms associated with binocular vision dysfunction, such as headaches, neck pain, and eye strain. This can greatly improve your quality of life, especially if you spend a lot of time on computers or reading. Eye misalignment can also affect your posture, leading to neck and shoulder pain. By addressing the root cause, Neurolens can help improve your posture and reduce related pain.
Prescribing Neurolens
The first step in the Neurolens process is a comprehensive eye exam using the Neurolens Measurement Device (NMD). This device precisely measures the degree of your eye misalignment at different distances. It’s a quick and painless process that provides accurate data on how your eyes work together.
Based on the measurements from the NMD, we create a custom prescription for your Neurolens glasses. These lenses incorporate a contoured prism design that helps to align your eyes properly. The prism varies in strength from the top to the bottom of the lens, accommodating both near and far vision needs.
Once your Neurolens glasses are ready, you wear them like any other pair of glasses. The unique prism design helps to correct your eye alignment throughout the day, reducing the strain on your eyes and relieving associated symptoms. Most patients notice a significant improvement in their symptoms within days of wearing Neurolens.
