Headaches, eye strain, and neck or shoulder discomfort are often blamed on stress or screen time - but in many cases, the real issue starts with how your eyes work together. Small eye misalignments can force your visual system to work harder than it should. At Ocean Park Optometry, we offer Newton™ (formerly Neurolens®), an advanced lens solution designed to address these alignment issues and provide meaningful, long-term relief.
Newton™ glasses use contoured prism technology to help your eyes work together more comfortably. Unlike standard lenses that apply the same correction across the entire lens, Newton™ lenses provide variable prism correction that changes as your eyes move - especially important during close-up tasks like reading or screen use. This technology is designed to correct eye misalignment, a common but often undetected condition that can lead to chronic visual and physical symptoms.
One of the most common benefits patients report is immediate relief from eye strain. Newton™ lenses reduce the extra effort your eye muscles make to stay aligned, helping your eyes feel more relaxed throughout the day.
Misaligned eyes can contribute to tension headaches and migraines. By improving how your eyes work together, Newton™ glasses can significantly reduce headache frequency and intensity for many patients.
With today’s screen-heavy lifestyles, digital eye strain has become increasingly common. Newton™ lenses are particularly effective for people who work on computers, tablets, or phones for extended periods, making them ideal for professionals and students alike.
Eye misalignment doesn’t just affect your vision - it can impact your posture. Many patients unknowingly tilt or adjust their head to compensate for visual discomfort. Newton™ glasses help restore natural alignment, which may reduce neck and shoulder tension over time.
By minimizing visual stress, Newton™ lenses can improve overall clarity and focus. Patients often notice that reading feels easier, concentration improves, and visual tasks feel less exhausting.
At Ocean Park Optometry, our eye doctor in Santa Monica uses advanced diagnostic technology to measure even subtle eye alignment issues. Newton™ lenses are custom-designed based on these precise measurements, ensuring your lenses are tailored specifically to your visual system. If you’ve tried multiple pairs of glasses, visited different providers, or still struggle with discomfort despite having “20/20 vision,” Newton™ may be the missing solution.
Newton™ glasses may be especially beneficial if you experience:
Visual discomfort isn’t something you have to live with. Newton™ (formerly Neurolens®) glasses offer a modern, science-backed solution that goes beyond traditional prescriptions by addressing eye alignment at its source. For patients seeking advanced vision care, Newton™ in Santa Monica provides an opportunity to experience clearer, more comfortable vision - and improved quality of life.
