The Science Behind Neurolens Glasses: How They Work to Improve Vision

Our eyes have become underutilized in many ways, leading to a rise in ocular issues. Among these issues, misaligned eyes have become more prevalent. Approximately two-thirds of working individuals experience misalignment. 

Despite being common, the symptoms of misaligned eyes can easily go unnoticed. Fortunately, Neurolens glasses offer a good solution and enhance vision during close-up tasks.

What Are Neurolens Glasses?

Neurolens glasses feature advanced lenses that are crafted from top-notch materials. They incorporate antireflective coatings designed to realign the eyes. Neurolens glasses owe their beginning to a discovery establishing a crucial link between optometry and neurology. 

Leveraging contoured prism tech, these lenses integrate adjustments where they are most required. These lenses are available in many strengths and can be custom-made to suit each patient. Even patients who wear contacts or have no prescription can experience significant benefits. 

Eye Misalignment

The eyes collaborate with the brain to ensure seamless and accurate vision. Prolonged periods of close-up work result in eye misalignment, which interferes with communication. This happens between the brain and the optical system. 

With eye misalignment, the brain is forced to exert more effort to integrate the images received from the eyes. Additionally, the trigeminal nerve that is responsible for various facial functions undergoes strain. These two factors are the primary factors contributing to migraines.

Effects of Eye Misalignment

The trigeminal nerve splits into three branches. These branches contribute to the functioning of organs and various parts of the head. Among them, the ophthalmic nerve aids explicitly in vision. It helps send information from the visual system to the central nervous system.

When eye misalignment occurs, the visual system becomes excessively active. It results in heightened stimulation of the trigeminal nerve. This increased stimulation leads to irritation, manifesting in two distinct ways: 

• First, it triggers strain in the shoulder and neck region at the nerve's endpoint. 

• Second, it induces dilation of blood vessels within the head.

Symptoms of Eye Misalignment

The symptoms of eye misalignment closely resemble those associated with digital eyestrain. These symptoms are often mild or absent in the morning, but they worsen throughout the day, becoming notably pronounced by the day's end. The following are its most prevalent symptoms:

• Blurred vision

• Double vision

• Neck and shoulder pain

• Fatigue, soreness, or discomfort in the eyes

• Headaches

• Dry eyes 

• Squinting, rubbing, or closing one eye

• Difficulty concentrating

• Difficulty reading

How Do Neurolens Glasses Work?

These lenses ease the strain experienced by the brain and eyes caused by eye misalignment. Using contoured prism technology, the lenses address misalignment by modifying the captured image, mitigating the impact on the trigeminal nerve. They address the underlying conditions that contribute to the onset of migraines.

How Effective Are They?

Neurolenses have proven to be very effective. They have led to significant improvement in symptoms for most patients. 93% of patients experienced symptom reduction after wearing Neurolenses for 90 days.

One of the remarkable advantages of Neurolenses is their versatility. Eye doctors can easily integrate them into almost any pair of glasses frames, allowing patients to choose frames that align with their personal preferences. This adaptability ensures that the necessary adjustment is made where it is most needed to address the condition well.
