If you suffer from eye strain, headaches, or neck pain regularly, eye misalignment may be the cause. While most people don’t know about eye misalignment, they may be all too familiar with its painful and uncomfortable symptoms! Our specialists have the expertise and technology to diagnose and treat eye misalignment to help alleviate discomfort and improve your quality of life.
What is eye misalignment?
Binocular vision is the ability of the eyes to work together as a team to perceive a single, three-dimensional image of the world around us. When your binocular vision is healthy, you have perfectly aligned eyes and can see one clear image.
Eye misalignment, also known as binocular vision disorder (BVD), occurs when the eyes are not properly aligned. BVD can be caused by several factors, including muscle imbalance, neurological issues, or injury.
Binocular vision disorder can stress the trigeminal nerve, which is the largest and most complex of the cranial nerves, resulting in a condition known as trigeminal dysphoria. Constant and prolonged exposure to digital devices, such as computers, tablets, and cell phones, can exacerbate this issue.
What are the symptoms of eye misalignment?
Eye misalignment can cause a range of symptoms, including:
- Headaches
- Eye strain and fatigue
- Dry eye sensation
- Neck and shoulder pain
- Motion sickness/feeling off-balance
- Poor depth perception
- Clumsiness
- Blurred or double vision
- Difficulty reading
- Sensitivity to light
- Restless sleep
Symptoms can be uncomfortable or even painful and can significantly impact your work and your life. Fortunately, our specialists offer treatment options to improve eye alignment and resolve symptoms.
Neurolens
At VisionArts Eyecare Center, we offer a breakthrough solution known as Neurolens. It is the first and only prescription lens that contains a contoured prism to bring the eyes into perfect alignment. Contoured prisms can relieve eyestrain, headaches, and neck and shoulder pain experienced by many while reading and using digital devices.
How are Neurolenses prescribed?
The first step is to take a short, simple Neurolens test to see if you’re a candidate for Neurolenses. The next step is to schedule an exam with a doctor at VisionArts Eyecare Center for Neurolenses. To determine if you’re a good candidate for Neurolenses, our team will use the Neurolens eye-tracking device to detect and measure eye misalignment. The test is quick and painless, and nothing touches your eye at any time.
Our eye doctor will then review the test results with you and prescribe your new Neurolenses. Neurolenses are customized to your eyeglass prescription. They are also premium lenses, meaning that they come standard with an anti-reflective coating and are made from high-quality, durable materials.
Even if you don’t need prescription eyeglasses to see clearly, Neurolenses will still alleviate the pressure on your trigeminal nerve and relieve any painful symptoms of eye misalignment. Many patients report that Neurolens has been life-changing!
