What is Neurolens?

Neurolens is the first and only prescription lenses that add a contoured prism to align the eyes and relieve headaches, neck/shoulder pain, and eyestrain caused by using digital devices. With the surge of digital device use in the modern age, it is no surprise that American adults now spend more than nine hours per day on digital devices. The visual demands of this digital lifestyle have increased the number of people who experience symptoms known collectively as digital vision syndrome. When the eyes are not aligned, even small amounts of misalignment demand the visual system, causing eye strain, headaches, and neck/shoulder pain. Researchers believe ocular misalignment causes overstimulation of the trigeminal nerve, which can cause eyestrain, dry eye, headaches, and migraines, and in some cases, can mimic a sinus headache. The Neurolens is designed to bring the eyes into proper alignment, essential for comfortable vision. In a survey of patients who purchased the Neurolens, 93 percent found symptom relief, with 73 percent stating that their symptoms were “substantially reduced” or “basically gone” after 45 days.

How does the technology work?

The neurolens contoured prism technology provides effortless eye alignment at all distances by gradually increasing the prism from distance to near. Neurolens developed the Neurolens Measurement Device to objectively and accurately measure eye alignment at all distances. This device uses breakthrough eye-tracking technology to measure the degree of eye misalignment at all distances and only takes three minutes to complete. These unique measurements, which encompass prism diopter calculations down to the one-hundredth of a prism diopter, provide the blueprint for the custom Neurolens contoured prism lens design.

What makes contoured prism design different from traditional lenses?

Unlike traditional prism lenses that use the same amount of prism at all distances, the Neurolens uses a customized contoured prism that aligns the eyes . The contoured prism design is a highly customized lens to each individual’s visual demands.
